Nighttime Blood Pressure Abnormalities in Iranian CKD Patients: Necessity to Perform Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring.

Introduction: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is a valuable tool for detecting abnormalities in nighttime blood pressure (BP), including non-dipping and nighttime hypertension. These abnormalities are independent predictors of a poor prognosis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of our study  was to analyze ABPM data and evaluate nighttime BP abnormalities in an Iranian CKD population.
