Masked hypertension can be seen in children with a solitary kidney or when one of the kidneys is hypofunctioning. Systolic BP loads are higher in children with congenital solitary kidney, and salt intake correlates with systolic BP profiles especially in those. Our results suggest that being born with a congenital solitary kidney increases predisposition to hypertension and salt sensitivity.
