Association of Nighttime Masked Uncontrolled Hypertension With Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Kidney Function Among Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Not Receiving Dialysis

Abstract

In this cohort study, nighttime MUCH was common and associated with LVH and poor kidney outcomes among patients with hypertension and nondialysis CKD. These findings suggest that ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was inadequately used in patients with CKD and hypertension, calling for more widespread use, even in patients with controlled office hypertension.
