Key result
Among children and adolescents with type-1 diabetes, hypertension by ambulatory monitoring was prevalent (28.4%) but showed no correlation with microalbuminuria or HbA1c levels.

ABPM hypertension in pediatric T1DM lacks correlation with microalbuminuria or HbA1c; leaves open its prognostic role pending longitudinal studies.

Does hypertension assessed by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring correlate with microalbuminuria and diabetic control in children and adolescents with type-1 diabetes mellitus?
Despite a high prevalence of abnormal blood pressure profiles in children with type-1 diabetes, hypertension assessed by ABPM did not correlate with microalbuminuria or HbA1c levels.
Basiratnia et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Type-1 diabetes mellitus (n=81). Hypertension assessed by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was evaluated on Correlation between hypertension and both microalbuminuria and HbA1c. Among children and adolescents with type-1 diabetes, hypertension by ambulatory monitoring was prevalent (28.4%) but showed no correlation with microalbuminuria or HbA1c levels.
