Key result
Elevated nighttime systolic blood pressure was independently associated with the presence of microalbuminuria in patients with resistant hypertension (OR 1.014; 95% CI 1.001-1.026; P=0.029).
Why the study?
Is microalbuminuria associated with specific ambulatory blood pressure parameters in patients with resistant hypertension?
Population
356 patients with resistant hypertension, mean age 64 ± 11 years, 40.2% females, from Spanish hypertension…

May flag higher-risk patients via ABPM; leaves open whether nocturnal BP control reduces microalbuminuria.

In patients with resistant hypertension, microalbuminuria is independently associated with elevated nighttime systolic blood pressure and reduced renal function.
Oliveras et al. (2011) conducted a cohort in Resistant hypertension (n=356). Elevated nighttime systolic blood pressure was evaluated on Presence of microalbuminuria (OR 1.014, 95% CI 1.001-1.026, p=0.029). Elevated nighttime systolic blood pressure was independently associated with the presence of microalbuminuria in patients with resistant hypertension (OR 1.014; 95% CI 1.001-1.026; P=0.029).
