Single ABPM may misclassify dipping status in CKD; leaves open whether repeated monitoring improves risk stratification.
Is circadian blood pressure variation (dipper/non-dipper status) consistent over time in patients with CKD stages 3-5?
Single measurements of 24-h ambulatory blood pressure are inadequate for evaluating dipping status in patients with CKD stages 3-5 due to poor consistency over time.
Elung‐Jensen et al. (2008) studied this question.
