Ambulatory arterial stiffness index, blood pressure variability, and nocturnal blood pressure dip in children with IgA and Henoch-Sch önlein nephropathy
.

CONCLUSIONS: 1. Children with IgAN have higher arterial stiffness compared to healthy peers. 2. In children with IgAN/HSN, proteinuria and hyperlipidemia are risk factors for elevated diastolic blood pressure, while obesity is a risk factor for increased blood pressure variability and pulse pressure. 3. Pediatric patients with IgAN/HSN require regular ABPM evaluation to allow for early detection of poor pharmacological control of hypertension.
