Does ambulatory blood pressure monitoring uncover uncontrolled hypertension in pediatric renal transplant recipients?
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring uncovers a significant amount of uncontrolled hypertension in pediatric renal transplant recipients that correlates with left ventricular mass index.
The difference in prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension uncovered by ABPM was 43.5%. Nighttime SBP z-score was significantly correlated with LVMI.
Tangnararatchakit et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
