Popis: Introduction Arterial hypertension (AH) is a potent factor of cardiovascular death in chronic dialysis patients (CDP). Development of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) allowed a better analysis of inter dialysis blood pressure (BP) profile. We studied the relationship between ABPM findings and clinical and biological data in CDP, to determinate its clinical application. Methods Retrospective study of 24 hours ABPM (after dialysis) in 28 CDP divided into 3 groups according to pre dialyses BP profile: G1: CDP with controlled AH (n=8) G2: CDP with un-controlled AH (n=12) G3: CDP without AH (n=8) Results ABPM findings are correlated to clinical BP measurements before and after dialysis. Mean systolic ABP is lower than pre dialysis clinical BP. 82% of CDP loose the BP circadian cycle. 64,3% of CDP and 83,3% of patients with AH had echocardiographic left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. LV mass is correlated to BP load, the anemia's severity, the loss of the BP circadian cycle and the use of acetate in dialysis bath. Conclusion ABPM in CDP has various clinical applications: • diagnosis of AH • Evaluation of AH treatment • Evaluation of cardiovascular death risk
