Key result
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is the best tool to assess cardiovascular and renal risk in patients with chronic kidney disease, as it detects masked hypertension and nondipping patterns.
Why the study?
Does out-of-office blood pressure monitoring improve the detection of masked hypertension and nondipping patterns in patients with chronic kidney disease compared to office measurements?
Population

ABPM may enhance risk stratification in CKD; leaves open whether routine use improves outcomes in trials.
Does out-of-office blood pressure monitoring improve the detection of masked hypertension and nondipping patterns in patients with chronic kidney disease compared to office measurements?
Out-of-office blood pressure monitoring, particularly ABPM, is essential for accurately assessing cardiovascular and renal risk in patients with CKD by detecting masked hypertension and nondipping patterns missed by office measurements.
Ruiz‐Hurtado et al. (2015) conducted a review in Chronic kidney disease. Ambulatory and home blood pressure monitoring vs. Office blood pressure measurements was evaluated. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is the best tool to assess cardiovascular and renal risk in patients with chronic kidney disease, as it detects masked hypertension and nondipping patterns.
