Short-termblood pressure variability in nondialysis chronic kidney disease patients: correlates and prognostic role on the progression of renal disease

Objective: In chronic kidney disease (CKD), few cross-sectional studies evidenced an association between short-term BP variability (BPV) derived from ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring and renal damage. However, no study has evaluated the association of short-term BPV with the risk of CKD progression.
