Abstract

The use of 24-h ABPM has become commonplace when diagnosing and managing hypertension in the pediatric population. Multiple clinical guidelines recommend ABPM as the preferred method for identifying white-coat hypertension, masked hypertension, and determining degree of blood pressure (BP) control. Accurate, timely diagnosis and optimal management are particularly important in certain populations, such as children with chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes, and other conditions with increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Understanding how best to utilize ABPM to achieve these goals is important for pediatric nephrologists and other hypertension specialists. This review will provide practical information on the equipment, application, interpretation, and documentation of ABPM in the specialty clinic.
