Implication
Home and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring should replace peridialysis measurements for the diagnosis and management of hypertension in dialysis patients.
Structured PICO
Does ambulatory and home blood pressure monitoring improve the diagnosis and management of hypertension in dialysis patients compared to peridialysis measurements?
P
Population
Dialysis patients with hypertension
I
Intervention
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and home blood pressure monitoring
C
Comparator
Peridialysis (pre-, intra- and post-dialysis) blood pressure measurements
O
Outcome
Diagnosis and management of hypertension
Home and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring should replace peridialysis measurements for the diagnosis and management of hypertension in dialysis patients.
Limitations
- Insufficiently tested in the dialysis population for applicability in everyday clinical practice, tolerability, organizational impact and cost-effectiveness
