Micro-albuminuria as a predictor of cardiovascular damage in essential hypertension

1989

Microalbuminuria fractional clearance and early renal permselectivity changes in essential hypertension.

1992

In order to verify if, in essential hypertension (EH), the microalbuminuria (AER) increase could be due to hemodynamic modifications or to glomerular structural changes, in 15 essential hypertensives (EHs) with 24-hour AER16 micrograms/min and in 15 EHs with 24-hour AERor = 16 micrograms/min, the day- and nighttime behavior of creatinine clearance (Ccr), as well as AER clearance (AER-C) and fractional clearance (AER-FC), and behavior of blood pressure (BP) was evaluated. Patients with 24-hour AER16 micrograms/min showed significantly higher values of 24-hour and daytime Ccr than the other group of EHs, while during the night period, there were no significant differences between the two grou…

Factores que influyen en la diferencia de medida de presión arterial entre el método auscultatorio y el oscilométrico

2006

Fundamento y objetivo El metodo auscultatorio mediante esfigmomanometro de mercurio esta siendo sustituido por otros metodos de medida de presion arterial, de los que el mas utilizado es el oscilometrico. Se analiza las posibles discrepancias de medida entre ambos metodos y los factores que influyen en ellas. Material y metodo Se obtuvieron medidas de presion arterial (PA) mediante esfigmomanometro de mercurio, con un monitor Spacelabs, en el mismo brazo y mediante un metodo secuencial. La relacion entre ambas medidas se analizo mediante los coeficientes de correlacion de Pearson y el metodo de Bland y Altman. Se calcularon las diferencias entre ambos metodos de medida. Se analizo los facto…

Reproducibility of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in children

European Society of Hypertension practice guidelines for home blood pressure monitoring.

2010

Self-monitoring of blood pressure by patients at home (home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM)) is being increasingly used in many countries and is well accepted by hypertensive patients. Current hypertension guidelines have endorsed the use of HBPM in clinical practice as a useful adjunct to conventional office measurements. Recently, a detailed consensus document on HBPM was published by the European Society of Hypertension Working Group on Blood Pressure Monitoring. However, in daily practice, briefer documents summarizing the essential recommendations are needed. It is also accepted that the successful implementation of clinical guidelines in routine patient care is dependent on their acc…
