Key result
In patients with type 2 diabetes, albuminuria was significantly more prevalent in those with non-dipping nocturnal blood pressure compared to dippers, even after adjustment for age (p=0.007).
Observational (n=100)
p-value: p=0.007
Albuminuria and older age are strongly associated with an abnormal non-dipping nocturnal blood pressure pattern in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Non-dipping nocturnal BP was associated with albuminuria in T2D; leaves open whether restoring dipping improves renal outcomes.
Sommerfield et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Type 2 diabetes (n=100). Non-dipping of nocturnal BP vs. Dipping of nocturnal BP was evaluated on Prevalence of albuminuria (p=0.007). In patients with type 2 diabetes, albuminuria was significantly more prevalent in those with non-dipping nocturnal blood pressure compared to dippers, even after adjustment for age (p=0.007).
