Ambulatory Blood Pressure Phenotypes in Adults Taking Antihypertensive Medication with and without CKD.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Recent guidelines recommend out-of-clinic BP measurements.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

We compared the prevalence of BP phenotypes between 561 black patients, with and without CKD, taking antihypertensive medication who underwent ambulatory BP monitoring at baseline (between 2000 and 2004) in the Jackson Heart Study. CKD was defined as an albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/g or eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m². Sustained controlled BP was defined by BP at goal both inside and outside of the clinic and sustained uncontrolled BP as BP above goal both inside and outside of the clinic. Masked uncontrolled hypertension was defined by controlled clinic-measured BP with uncontrolled out-of-clinic BP.
