Masked hypertension by ABPM associates with higher glucose and UACR; hypothesis-generating for risk stratification, needs prospective validation before practice change.
Is masked hypertension defined by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring associated with increased serum glucose and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio compared to normotension in participants not taking antihypertensive medication?
Masked hypertension defined by 24-hour ambulatory BP, but not home BP, is associated with increased markers of target organ damage including serum glucose and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio.
