ABSTRACT
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is a reliable modality and is preferred over office blood pressure monitoring (OBPM) for detecting hypertension. However, despite its advantages, the utilization of 24-h ABPM in evaluating living kidney donors has not been universally adopted by transplant centers, partly because of the lack of data about the utility of ABPM. This study aimed to identify patients with masked and white-coat hypertension, thereby ensuring appropriate identification of their true hypertension status and assessments of the risk to donors. This study included 73 potential living kidney donors. BP was measured in the office using a standardized protocol as well as by ABPM. Detailed clinical and biochemical parameters were assessed. Target organ damage was assessed in all the donors by assessing proteinuria, hypertensive retinopathy, and echocardiography. Out of the 73 donors, 64.4% were females and 35.6% were males. The average age of individuals in our donor population was 42.0 ± 11.28 years. In total, 31.5% were detected to be hypertensive by OBPM. With ABPM, only 21.9% of donors were hypertensive. The overall prevalence of white-coat hypertension was 30.4%; that of masked hypertension was 6.0%. In donors diagnosed as hypertensive by OBPM, three individuals were identified as having target organ damage. However, two additional donors who were initially missed as hypertensive using OBPM had target organ damage. OBPM overestimated the prevalence of hypertension compared with ABPM. ABPM is the better modality in terms of diagnosing white coats and masked hypertension. ABPM also more reliably correlates with target organ damage than OBPM.
