Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM). Predictive value in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

The prevalence of arterial hypertension (AHT) in pediatrics has been steadily increasing in the last five years. The prevalence of arterial hypertension (AHT) in pediatrics has been steadily increasing in the last five years, associated with the increase in obesity, and is a predictor of the development of AHT and cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is a useful clinical tool that provides a more accurate description of blood pressure (BP) in relation to those obtained in the doctor's office. In the adult population, ABPM is recommended to confirm hypertension before initiating antihypertensive treatment.
