• Adult and pediatric hypertensive patients with end-stage renal failure have often nocturnal blood pressure non-dipping phenomenon. • Non-dipping phenomenon is in patients with end-stage renal failure associated with increased prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy. What is New: • Pediatric hypertensive patients without end-stage renal failure with blood pressure non-dipping phenomenon do not have increased prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy.
