Masked hypertension is highly prevalent in KTR, especially due to high rates of uncontrolled nighttime hypertension. HBPM shows the narrowest limits of agreement with Daytime-ABPM. Daytime-ABPM and HBPM show the highest, albeit clinically insufficient, correlation with Nighttime-ABPM. Systematic integration of 24h-ABPM into clinical practice, as proposed by the '2023 ESH Guidelines for the Management of arterial hypertension', should not be withheld for the KTR population. Clinical trials evaluating treatment of hypertension in KTR are urgently needed.
