To evaluate effect of age on hypertensive status in chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS: We studied 459 prevalent CKD patients (stages 2-5, no dialysis), grouped by age (< 55, 55-64, 65-74, >or= 75 years), undergoing clinical blood pressure (CBP) and ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) measurement.In CKD, prevalence of white-coat hypertension, nondipping status and potentially dangerous low diastolic ABP increases with aging. This suggests wider use of ABP monitoring in older patients and need for trials addressing identification of an age-specific blood pressure target.
