Nocturnal hypertension: Will control of nighttime blood pressure prevent progression of diabetic renal disease?

Abstract: Patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes and nephropathy frequently have a blunted fall in nighttime arterial blood pressure. This abnormality is already seen in subjects with type 1 diabetes who are in the microalbuminuric phase of the disease, and we have also shown that an increase in nighttime systolic blood pressure precedes the development of microalbuminuria. These studies suggest that nocturnal hypertension may be an important early predictor of diabetic nephropathy. Various drugs have different effects on … Show more

“…In a previous study of only 16 hospitalised patients with type 2 diabetes, abnormal circadian rhythms were reported to develop at an early stage of nephropathy. 18 In patients with type 1 diabetes it has been noted that an increase in nocturnal SBP precedes the development of microalbuminuria, 19,20 and that patients with a normal nocturnal dip in BP have a 70% lower risk of developing microalbuminuria.…”

“…In addition microalbuminuria was diagnosed on the basis of a one-off clinic urine sample taken within six months of the ABPM being performed and those patients who were already microalbuminuric were excluded. Despite debate in the literature regarding non-dipping of nocturnal BP and the development of microalbuminuria, and whether treatment of nocturnal hypertension would prevent the occurrence of microalbuminuria, 16 we are still no nearer to determining which is cause and which-effect. In order to investigate this question in more detail, a prospective trial of all new patients would avoid some of these confounding factors that proved to be problematic in this study.…”

“…This is accompanied by increased messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels of extracellular matrix proteins, such as fibronectin and collagen IV [6]. Nevertheless, other factors have been also implicated [7], such as an elevated pressure load on the arterial glomerular system and an increased glomerular filtration rate (GFR), commonly referred as hyperfiltration [8], which can be present during the initial steps of DN. Furthermore, to our knowledge, few data are available that link oxidative stress to DN development.…”

“…Research has demonstrated that a lack of nocturnal MAP dipping is a risk factor for cardiovascular events ( 35 ). Moreover, increased nighttime BP was shown to predict the occurrence of microalbuminuria in children with diabetes ( 36 ). Bayrakci et al demonstrated a reverse correlation between high nighttime z-scores for SBP and birth weight in a group of children aged 5 - 17 years ( 26 ).…”
