Ambulatory blood pressure parameters and their association with albuminuria in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to evaluate the blood pressure (BP) status, including arterial stiffness parameters, hemodynamic indicators, circadian profile, and its association with albuminuria in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1).

Methods

The analysis included 46 patients, with diabetes duration of 7.38 ± 3.48 years. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was conducted using an oscillometric device, the Mobil-O-Graph, which is a Pulse Wave Analysis Monitor.

Results

Hypertension (HT) was diagnosed in 31 adolescents (67% of patients), primarily due to isolated nocturnal BP (21 cases, 68% of HT cases). The HT group exhibited significantly increased diastolic load (DL). Pulse wave velocity (PWV, a measure of arterial stiffness) values showed a strong co
