Recent understanding of the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has led us to the introduction of national blood pressure (BP) targets aimed at reducing the incidence of end-stage renal failure. The target clinic BP is <140/90 mmHg and <130/80 in patients with significant proteinuria according to UK NICE guidelines. However, the relationship between clinic BP and ambulatory hypotension has not been studied.
