Ambulatory blood pressures and central blood pressures are associated with cardiovascular morbidity in adolescent and young adult patients receiving chronic hemodialysis.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is superior to casual office BP obtained at time of dialysis in delineating cardiovascular morbidity in adolescent and young adult HD patients. CBP is easily performed and correlates with LVMI and PWV in adolescent and young adult HD patients; however, large-scale normative data is needed.
