The relationship between blood pressure variability and kidney injury among CKD patients by LI Ya, ZONG Xue, LV Yi-lun, ZHANG Wen, CHEN Xiao-nong, REN Hong, WANG Wei-min, CHEN Nan

“…Objective To investigate the 24-h ambulatory blood pressure among chronic kidney disease(CKD) patients and the relationship between blood pressure variability(BPV) and target organ damage.Methods We recruited 509 CKD patients from Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Jiaotong University in the study.The clinical data,including patients’ characteristics,laboratory examination were collected,patients’ ambulatory blood pressure(ABP) was monitored using portable detector(Spacelabs 90207),and patients’ LVMI was recorded using color Doppler echocardiogram tester(GEVivid7).We used SPSS 15.0 to analyze the data.Results A total of 509 CKD patients were included in the study,including 102 cases of CKD1(20.0%),107 cases of CKD2(21.0%),114 cases of CKD3(22.4%),97 cases of CKD4(19.1%) and 89 cases of CKD5(17.5%).24-h SBP in CKD patients was significantly increased with decreased kidney function(P<0.05).The dSBP,nSBP,nDBP in CKD4,and 5 patients were significantly higher than those in patients with CKD 1,2,and 3(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in dDBP.The 24-h SSD,dSSD and nSSD in patients with CKD4,and 5 were significantly higher than those in patients with CKD 1,2,and 3(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in 24-h DSD,dDSD and nDSD.The rate of non-dipper blood pressure was normally high in CKD patients.The rate was 54.1%in CKD1 patients,and increased with decreased kidney function,which reached up to 85.6%in CKD5 patients.The 24-h SSD and dSSD in CKD patients with abnormal LVMI were significantly higher than those in CKD patients with normal LVMI(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in nDSD,nSSD,dDSD and 24-h DSD.Conclusions The blood pressure,BPV and rate of non-dipper blood pressure in CKD patients increased with decreased kidney function.Measures to control CKD patients’ blood pressure and to improve circadian rhythm of blood pressure are essential for the management of CKD.…”
