“…Though elevations in both day and night SBP obtained from 24-h ABPM were associated with risk of declining renal allograft function, and nighttime elevation in SBP exhibited a stronger association (132). An elevated 24-h average SBP was significantly associated with a composite endpoint of graft loss, cardiovascular events and death over a 5-year follow-up period in kidney transplant recipients with diabetes, lower eGFR, proteinuria, young age, and who were female (133). An average (day and night) 24-h DBP between 65 and 80 mmHg was associated with greater long term survival during a 9-year follow-up period after kidney transplantation when compared to those who had average DBP <65 or >80 mmHg (134).…”
