Hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor in both kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is considered the gold-standard method for hypertension management in these subjects. This is the first study evaluating the full ambulatory blood pressure (BP) profile and short-term BP variability (BPV) in KTRs versus CKD patients without kidney replacement therapy.
Ninety-three KTRs were matched with 93 CKD patients for age, sex, and estimated glomerular filtration rate. All participants underwent 24-hour ABPM. Mean ambulatory BP levels, BP trajectories, and BPV indices (standard deviation [SD], weighted SD, and average real variability) were compared between the two groups.
There were no significant between-group differences in 24-hour systolic BP (SBP)/diastolic BP (DBP) (KTRs: 126.9 ± 13.1/79.1 ± 7.9 mmHg vs. CKD: 128.1 ± 11.2/77.9 ± 8.1 mmHg, p = 0.52/0.29), daytime SBP/DBP and nighttime SBP; nighttime DBP was slightly higher in KTRs (KTRs: 76.5 ± 8.8 mmHg vs. CKD: 73.8 ± 8.8 mmHg, p = 0.04). Repeated measurements analysis of variance showed a significant effect of time on both ambulatory SBP and DBP (SBP: F = [19, 3002] = 11.735, p < 0.001, partial η2 = 0.069) but not of KTR/CKD status (SBP: F = [1, 158] = 0.668, p = 0.42, partial η2 = 0.004). Ambulatory systolic/diastolic BPV indices were not different between KTRs and CKD patients, except for 24-hour DBP SD that was slightly higher in the latter group (KTRs: 10.2 ± 2.2 mmHg vs. CKD: 10.9 ± 2.6 mmHg, p = 0.04). No differences were noted in dipping pattern between the two groups.
Mean ambulatory BP levels, BP trajectories, and short-term BPV indices are not significantly different between KTRs and CKD patients, suggesting that KTRs have a similar ambulatory BP profile compared to CKD patients without kidney replacement therapy.
高血压是肾移植受者(KTR)和慢性肾脏病(CKD)患者的主要心血管危险因素。动态血压监测(ABPM)被认为是这些受试者高血压管理的金标准方法。这是第一项评估KTR与未接受肾脏替代治疗的CKD患者的全天动态血压(BP)概况和短期血压变异性(BPV)的研究。
93例KTR与93例CKD患者在年龄、性别和估计肾小球滤过率方面进行匹配。所有参与者均接受24小时ABPM。比较两组之间的平均动态血压水平、血压轨迹和BPV指数(标准差[SD]、加权SD和平均实际变异性)。
两组之间24小时收缩压(SBP)/舒张压(DBP)无显著差异(KTR:126.9±13.1/79.1±7.9 mmHg vs. CKD:128.1±11.2/77.9±8.1 mmHg,p = 0.52/0.29),日间SBP/DBP和夜间SBP;KTR的夜间DBP略高(KTR:76.5±8.8 mmHg vs. CKD:73.8±8.8 mmHg,p = 0.04)。重复测量方差分析显示时间对动态SBP和DBP均有显著影响(SBP:F = [19, 3002] = 11.735,p < 0.001,偏η2 = 0.069),但KTR/CKD状态无显著影响(SBP:F = [1, 158] = 0.668,p = 0.42,偏η2 = 0.004)。除24小时DBP SD在后者组略高外(KTR:10.2±2.2 mmHg vs. CKD:10.9±2.6 mmHg,p = 0.04),KTR和CKD患者的动态收缩压/舒张压BPV指数无差异。两组之间的血压波动模式无差异。
KTR和CKD患者的平均动态血压水平、血压轨迹和短期BPV指数无显著差异,表明与未接受肾脏替代治疗的CKD患者相比,KTR具有相似的动态血压概况。
