Differences in estimated glomerular filtration rate are associated with different patterns of 24-h ambulatory blood pressure in the general population
Background:
Alterations of the circadian blood pressure rhythm are associated with cardiovascular and chronic kidney diseases. We investigated the relationship between 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) patterns and eGFR differences in participants without chronic kidney disease.
Method:
This cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the ongoing Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, which involves 1733 participants (age, 60 ± 7 years; 938 women) with an eGFR>60 ml/min per 1.73 m2. The blood pressure dipping status was stratified as reverse-dipper (
