What are the advantages of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in children with chronic renal failure?
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring can provide a more accurate and comprehensive assessment of a child's blood pressure than single measurements taken in a clinic setting. It can also provide valuable information about the relationship between blood pressure and renal function, as well as the potential benefits of antihypertensive drugs. Additionally, it can help to identify patterns of blood pressure control that may be associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes, such as accelerated progression of renal disease. Finally, it can help to identify periods of time in which the child's blood pressure is not well controlled, allowing for timely interventions to improve blood pressure control.
