Effect of age and isolated systolic or diastolic hypertension on target organ damage in non-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate associations between age-dependent variations in isolated systolic/diastolic hypertension (ISH/IDH) with target organ damage in chronic kidney disease (CKD). A cross-sectional study was conducted among 2,459 CKD patients with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Blood pressure was categorized into four groups: normotension, ISH, IDH, and systolic-diastolic hypertension. The outcome measurements were left ventricular mass index (LVMI), estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR), and urinary albumin creatinine ratio (ACR). Older patients (≥60-years-old) had a higher prevalence of ISH and a lower prevalence of IDH than younger patients (<60-years-old). In multivariate analysis, compared with the normotension group, younger patients with ISH were assoc
