Association of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring with renal outcome in patients with chronic kidney disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The significance of ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) in Korean patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in relation to renal outcome or death remains unclear. We investigated the role of ABP in predicting end-stage renal disease or death in patients with CKD.

Methods

We enrolled 387 patients with hypertension and CKD who underwent ABP monitoring and were followed for 1 year. Data on clinical parameters and outcomes from August 2014 to May 2018 were retrospectively collected. The composite endpoint was end-stage renal disease or death. Patients were grouped according to the mean ABP.

Results

There were 66 endpoint events, 52 end-stage renal disease cases, and 15 mortalities. Among all patients, one developed end-stage renal disease and died. Mean ABP in the
