Objective: To evaluate the effect of 24 hour systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) variability (BPV) on renal progression in hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) Methods: A total 59 hypertensive patients (mean age: 54.2±14.6 years, 50.8% male) with CKD who underwent 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) were included. Data on SBP, DBP, BPV coefficients (VC) for SBP (SBP-CV) and DBP (DBP-CV) were recorded. A decrease in e-GFR of <5 ml/min/year was considered as normal renal progression and a decrease in ≥5 ml/min/year was considered as rapid renal progression. Results: Overall, 40.6% of the patients had uncontrolled HT, while 45.8% had non-dipper pattern. Mean±SD daytime and night-time SBP and SBP-VC values were 135.3±17.9 mmHg, 128.6±23.0 mmHg, 11.7±2.8 and 9.5±3.6, respectively. Mean±SD daytime and nigh-time DBP and DBP-VC values were 84.5±13.4 mmHg, 77.2±16.1 mmHg, 13.8±3.8 and 12.0±3.7, respectively. Rapid renal progression was detected in 25.4% of patients with no significant difference in daytime, night-time and total SBP, SBP-VC, DBP and DBP-VC values between patients with rapid vs. natural renal progression. The regression analysis adjusted for age, gender, presence of DM, baseline e-GFR and dipping status revealed no significant impact of SBP-VC and DBP-VC in predicting rapid progression (p> 0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, our finding revealed no significant association between BPV and renal progression in hypertensive patients with CKD. Larger scale prospective, randomized controlled trials with longer follow-up are needed to clarify this issue.

Accelerated atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases are frequent complications in hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), being mainly driven by cardiovascular risk factors as lipid disorders and an unfavorable blood pressure profile. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the lipid profile and to assess the characteristics of blood pressure (BP) in patients with primary arterial hypertension associating chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a primary care population in Timis County, Romania. Lipid disorders were highly prevalent in hypertensive patients with CKD, consisting in hyper LDL-cholesterolemia in 50.3%, hypertriglyceridemia in 52%, low HDL-cholesterol levels in 35.8%. More than 2 lipid abnormalities were present in 68.8% of CKD hypertensive. CKD hypertensive patients, compared with those without CKD, presented a BP profile with higher systolic and diastolic office BP. On ambulatory blood pressure monitoring they also registred higher systolic and diastolic BP, the systolic BP (SBP), both for 24 h SBP, day-time and night-time SBP being statistically significant higher than in hypertensive patients without CKD. The circadian 24 h BP profile demonstrated in the CKD hypertensive population an unfavourable nocturnal profile in 67%, consisting of a high prevalence of the non-dipping profile and of nocturnal riser pattern.

BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a burgeoning epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. Abnormal blood pressure variations are prevalent in CKD and potentiate the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Certain genetic variants (angiotensin II receptor type 1 1166 A&gt;C and angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion and deletion polymorphisms) and biomarkers such as interleukin–6, tumor necrosis factor, soluble (s) E-selectin, homocysteine, and highly sensitive C-reactive protein have been shown to affect blood pressure variability among non-African CKD, hypertensive. and nonhypertensive CKD population. However, the contributions of the pattern, genetic, and environmental determinants of ambulatory blood pressure in African CKD have not been characterized. Understanding these interactions may help to develop interventions to prevent major cardiovascular events among people with CKD. OBJECTIVE The overarching objective of this study is to identify, document, and develop approaches to address related phenomic, genetic, and environmental determinants of ambulatory blood pressure patterns in African CKD and non-CKD hypertensive patients compared with normotensive controls. METHODS This is a longitudinal short-term follow-up study of 200 adult subjects with CKD and 200 each of age-matched hypertensives without CKD and apparently healthy controls. Demographic information, detailed clinical profile, electrocardiography, echocardiography, and 24-hr ambulatory blood pressure measurements will be obtained. Blood samples will be collected to determine albumin-creatinine ratio, fasting plasma glucose, lipid profile, electrolytes, urea and creatinine, C-reactive protein, serum homocysteine, fibroblast growth factor–23, and complete blood count, while 2 mL blood aliquot will be collected in EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) tubes and mixed using an electronic rolling system to prevent blood clots and subsequently used for DNA extraction and genetic analysis. RESULTS A total of 239 participants have been recruited so far, and it is expected that the recruitment phase will be complete in June 2020. The follow-up phase will continue with data analysis and publications of results. CONCLUSIONS This study will help stratify Nigerian CKD patients phenotypically and genotypically in terms of their blood pressure variations with implications for targeted interventions and timing of medications to improve prognosis.

Abstract Background The cardiovascular mortality of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is 2–10 times higher than in the average population. Purpose To estimate the prevalence of abnormal cardiac function or structure across the stages CKD 1 to 5nonD. Method Prospective cohort study. Patients with CKD stage 1 to 5 not on dialysis, aged 30 to 75 (n=875) and age-/sex-matched controls (n=173) were enrolled consecutively. All participants underwent a health questionnaire, ECG, morphometric and blood pressure measurements. Blood and urine were analyzed. Echocardiography was performed. Left ventricle (LV) hypertrophy, dilatation, diastolic and systolic dysfunction were defined according to current ESC guidelines. Results 63% of participants were men. Mean age was 58 years (SD 12.6 years). Mean eGFR was 46.7 mL/min/1,73 m (SD 25.8) for patients and 82.3 mL/min/1,73 m (SD 13.4) for controls. The prevalence of elevated blood pressure at physical exam was 89% in patients vs. 53% in controls. Patients were more often smokers and obese. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was slightly, albeit insignificantly elevated at CKD stages 1 & 2 vs. in kontrols: 3.1 g/m2, CI: −0.4 to 6.75, p-value 0.08. There was no significant difference in LV-dilatation between patients and controls. Decreasing diastolic and systolic function was observed at CKD stage 3a and later: LVEF decreased 0.95% (CI: −1.5 to −0.2), GLS increased 0.5 (CI: 0.3 to 0.8), and OR for diastolic dysfunction increased 3.2 (CI 1.4 to 7.3) pr. increment CKD stage group. Conclusion In accordance to previous studies, we observe in the CPHCKD cohort study signs of early increase of LVMI in patients with CKD stage 1 & 2. Significant decline in systolic and diastolic cardiac function is apparent already at stage 3 CKD. Figure 1.

Renal hypertension is one of the earliest and the most prevalent complications of pediatric chronic kidney disease (CKD). Among renal patients, hypertension is frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated. For casual blood pressure measurement, the best method is auscultatory, while for ambulatory blood pressure measurement, oscillometric method is the most commonly used. Both casual and ambulatory blood pressure measurement provide more powerful means of diagnosing hypertension. Masked hypertension is a condition in which casual blood pressure is normal but ambulatory blood pressure is elevated. The risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is higher with masked hypertension as compared to the controls. Children and adolescents with CKD are at high risk of cardiovascular disease that has been established as the leading cause of death in patients with end stage renal disease. Left ventricular hypertrophy remains the most thoroughly documented form of end-organ damage caused by hypertension in children and adolescents with CKD. Based on clear evidence on the correlation between blood pressure and cardiovascular morbidity, mortality, and renal function, renal hypertension must be aggressively treated. Target blood pressure for patients with renal hypertension should be at low normal values: <75 percentile for patients without proteinuria and <50 percentile for patients with proteinuria. Renin-angiotensin system antagonists are considered the first choice pharmacological option in hypertensive CKD 2-4 patients while the management of volume overload is the most important in dialysis patients. Successful transplantation can eliminate or significantly improve uremia-related cardiovascular risk factors and increase predicted life expectancy.
