Abstract
In this issue of NDT Mallamaci et al. [1], report on the results from a cohort study of longitudinal blood pressure (BP) measurements in kidney transplant recipients and compare routinely measured office BPs with 24-h ambulatory BPs (ABPs). The investigators found that white coat hypertension was present in 25% and masked hypertension in 12% of kidney transplant recipients. The authors found generally poor agreement between office BP and ABP readings, with misclassification of BP control status at 37% of visits, where a therapeutic change in BP management may have been indicated. The study focused on office BPs taken routinely in clinical practice rather than standardized research measurements per protocol. While...Funding Information
