High blood pressure (BP) is a major factor contributing to the high incidence of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in haemodialysis (HD) patients. According to predialysis casual BP measurements, long HD has been shown to provide good BP control. To confirm this result during the period between dialysis sessions, we performed ambulatory monitoring of BP in 91 non-selected HD patients (mean age, 58.7 (14.1) years; 14% incidence of nephrosclerosis and diabetes mellitus; treatment duration, 93.0 (77.2) months; 3 x 8 h/week, cuprophane, acetate buffer in 95% of the patients). Only one patient (1.1%) was receiving an antihypertensive medication. Ambulatory BP results were systolic (S) BP, 119.4 (19.9) mmHg; diastolic (D) BP, 70.6 (12.9) mmHg; mean (M) BP, 87.6 (13.9) mmHg. These values were significantly lower than the casual predialysis BP data and close to the reference values reported by Staessen et al. in a meta-analysis including 3476 normotensive subjects. The MBP was inversely correlated with the treatment duration, but not with interdialysis weight gain. The MBP increased significantly in the last part of the interdialysis period, and this rise was not correlated with the interdialysis weight gain. The nocturnal/diurnal ratios for SBP and DBP for the HD patients (0.97 and 0.92) were higher than the reference values reported by Staessen, (0.87 and 0.83), and argued against a nocturnal decrease in BP. We found that 52.1% of the patients had an abnormal nocturnal BP fall (MBP fall < 5%). This feature worsened during the second night of the interdialysis period.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
