“ The inherent variability of the blood pressure has ledto problems in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis
of hypertension. Knowing how the blood pressurefluctuates with the stresses and strains of everyday lifeshould help in assessing the severity of hypertension,
the response to treatment, and the prognosis in individualcases”

Non Dipping pattern – Cause or effect ? Fifteen healthy subjects (4 men, 11 women; aged 33 to 65
years;mean age 55±2 years) who underwent unilateral nephrectomy for kidney donation were studied
Hypertens Res 2005; 28: 301–306
Results suggest that unilateral nephrectomy disturbs the circadian rhythm of BP as a function of renal dysfunction without affecting absolute levels of BP
Non dipping of BP seems to be the consequence of the loss of renal function, rather than the cause

Cause of Circadian Rhythms - Role of the Autonomic system
212 patients with progressive autonomic failure due to familial amyloid polyneuropathy
Group I – No evidence yet of impairment of their ANS– Circadian BP and HR variations indistinguishable from controls
Group II – Variable parasympathetic, intact sympathetic – 24 hour HR was higher vs Controls but maintained– Circadian BP variation diminished - attenuation of the nocturnal BP
decline
Hypertension 2000;35;892-897
Role of the Autonomic system
Group III – parasympathetic failure and intermediate sympathetic
dysfunction– Blunted diurnal BP variation
Group IV – parasympathetic failure and severe sympathetic
dysfunction– Absent diurnal BP variation
Hypertension 2000;35;892-897
How to tackle the variations
Pharmacodynamic Pharmacokinetic
maintain blood concentration of a drug for longer periods
longer acting drugs

At the end of the studySignificant associations among – decline of 24-hr creatinine clearance and the levels of systolic
blood pressure
– levels of systolic blood pressure and the urine excretion of protein-creatinine ratio in the morning
– Analysis of patients who had systolic blood pressure in the morning less than 140 mmHg revealed that 65% of these patients received doxazosin-averaged doses of 4.8 ± 1.5 mg daily

Changing the timing of dosing helps Setting & Participants
– 32 CKD patients with CKD , eGFR > 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 and ABP night-day ratio greater than 0.9
– normal daytime ABP (<135/85 mm Hg)
Intervention – Shifting 1 antihypertensive drug from morning to evening
Outcomes – Percentage of patients changing the night-day ratio of mean
ABP from greater than 0.9 to 0.9 or less 8 weeks after the shift
Measurements– Office blood pressure/ABP and proteinuria at baseline and after
the shift
AJKD, 2007;50(6):908-17
Changing the timing of dosing helps
Results After shift:
– ABP N/D ratio decreased in 93.7% of patients, with normal circadian rhythm restored in 87.5%
– Was not associated with an increase in diurnal ABP and was independent from number and class of shifted drug
– Office blood pressure in the morning also decreased (from 136 ± 16/77 ± 10 to 131 ± 13/75 ± 8 mm Hg; P = 0.02)
– Urinary protein excretion decreased from 235 ± 259 to 167 ± 206 mg/dl (P < 0.001)

Masked hypertension = ↑ risk of ESRD in CKD

AMBP = Home BP >> Clinic BP
BP obtained in triplicate twice daily for 3 days every 3 months appears appropriate
Alternatively, blood pressure obtained thrice daily for 1 week can be used
