Randomized trial examines nocturnal hypertension and sodium excretion in kidney transplant recipients, suggesting potential treatment strategies.

Key Points

This research aims to investigate the connection between nighttime blood pressure and diurnal sodium excretion in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs).
120 KTRs with stable graft function underwent 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and 24-h urine collection.
Patients were divided into tertiles based on the nighttime-to-daytime urinary sodium excretion ratio.
Patients were also divided into two groups by nighttime systolic blood pressure thresholds (>=120mmHg and <120mmHg).
Nighttime SBP was significantly increased with higher nighttime-to-daytime sodium excretion ratio (mean values 122.0±10.4 vs 128.5±14.7mmHg, p=0.034).
Patients with nighttime SBP >=120mmHg had a significantly higher N/D sodium ratio (0.7±0.4 vs 0.6±0.3, p=0.032).
Numerical differences in 24-h and daytime sodium excretions were observed but not statistically significant (p=0.465 and p=0.084, respectively).
