Popis: Abstract Objective Absence of nocturnal blood pressure (BP) dipping is associated with poor health outcomes, including increased mortality. Non-dipper BP seems to be a predictor of cardiovascular damage in hypertensive patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the mean platelet volume (MPV) and red cell distribution width (RDW) with nocturnal dipping/non dipping status in newly diagnosed and untreated prehypertensive non-smokers, using ambulatory BP monitoring. Results Twenty-eight patients (15 males) in the dipper group and 24 patients (11 males) in the non-dipper group were evaluated in this study. The age of patients was 41.64 ± 15.01 and 37.96 ± 15.08 years in the dipper and non-dipper groups, respectively. The rate of nocturnal systolic BP drop in the dipper and non-dipper groups was 13.79 ± 3.35% (10.20–22.10) and 5.96 ± 2.87% (1.10–9.30) (P
