摘要:
Purpose of reviewTo identify and evaluate recent (2000-2003) published studies employing ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients with chronic renal failure, on dialysis, and after renal transplantation.Recent findingsWe discuss several studies that have employed ambulatory blood pressure monitoring to refine the analysis of the link between blood pressure levels, and diurnal alterations, and end-organ damage or patient survival. There is now some evidence that an abnormal diurnal blood pressure profile, although intrinsically not a very reproducible label, has predictive value for patient survival, and that the non-dipping phenomenon is linked to a high incidence of cardiovascular disease and autonomic dysfunction.SummaryAmbulatory blood pressure monitoring remains an important adjunct to the comprehensive cardiovascular evaluation of patients with chronic, end-stage renal failure or after renal transplantation.
