Non-dipping blood pressure a risk factor for kidney disease
Blood pressure changes during the day and night due to a variety of variables. Normally, blood pressure drops when sleeping, a phenomenon known as dipping blood pressure. Nondipping blood pressure occurs when blood pressure does not drop at night or lowers by less than 10 mmHg. Nondipping blood pressure is common in hypertension, diabetes, renal illness, and sleep apnea, and it raises the risk of cardiovascular problems. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring aided in the identification of normal and abnormal blood pressure trends. Normal blood pressure patterns are regarded as hazardous, and correcting aberrant patterns can prevent organ damage, morbidity, and mortality. This review will cover non-dipping blood pressure from a renal standpoint since it raises the risk of protein in the urine and impaired kidney function.
