Why the study?
It was unknown whether non-dipping blood pressure status is independently associated with renal function decline in kidney transplant recipients.
Is preserved systolic blood pressure dipping associated with improved renal function in kidney transplant recipients?

Comparison
Blood pressure dippers vs non-dippers
Design

Non-dipping associated with lower eGFR in transplant recipients; hypothesis-generating for targeted nocturnal BP trials.
Is preserved systolic blood pressure dipping associated with improved renal function in kidney transplant recipients?
Preserved systolic blood pressure dipping is associated with better renal function in kidney transplant recipients, independent of hypertension and proteinuria.
