The so-called white coat effect occurs in about 42% of elderly patients. This phenomenon leads to several problems in treatment and may also cause renal disease. One of the most frequently controlled parameters is microalbuminuria, an index of renal damage. The present case-control study intended to
Microalbuminuria serves as an early marker of hypertension-related renal damage in adults. However, data on the prevalence of microalbuminuria in paediatric hypertensive patients in general and in children with white-coat hypertension (WCH) specifically are lacking. The aim of our study was to
Most of the previous studies on white coat hypertension were performed in hypertension clinics or academic settings and included relatively small series of patients. Consequently, the prevalence of white coat hypertension in primary care settings and the clinical and epidemiologic characteristics of
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether "white coat hypertension" (WCH) in adolescents is an innocent phenomenon or is associated with early changes of the vascular system and/or increased stress response, reflected in the urinary endothelin and cortisol values, respectively.
METHODS
The study group
OBJECTIVE
Early data have suggested a high prevalence of white coat hypertension (approximately 50%) in NIDDM patients. To study this phenomenon further, we determined the prevalence of white coat hypertension in NIDDM patients with normo- or microalbuminuria or with diabetic
The relationship between blood pressure and microalbuminuria, both associated with cardiovascular disease and death, is sparsely studied in Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes, and results may be interfered by the phenomenon of "white-coat-hypertension". We therefore investigated blood pressure
OBJECTIVE
To explore the prevalence of various categories of hypertension in diabetic patients, and assess any corresponding associations with end-organ complications.
METHODS
Cross-sectional study.
METHODS
Tertiary centre of a regional hospital in Hong Kong.
METHODS
All ambulatory type 2 diabetic
The aim of this cross-sectional study which took place in a hypertension clinic at a district general hospital in Denmark was to make a pragmatic definition of white coat hypertension. A total of 420 patients were referred consecutively from general practice with newly diagnosed untreated essential
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of white-coat hypertension (WCH) on microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study was conducted in normotensive patients and patients with WCH selected from a cohort of 319 type 2 diabetic patients.
OBJECTIVE
The present study compared the unfavorable effects of protein oxidation and deoxyribonucleic acid damage on patients with white coat hypertension (WCH), sustained hypertension (HT), and normotensives.
METHODS
Participants were allocated into 3 groups: 40 healthy controls, 36 patients with
The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of white coat hypertension (WCH) in type 1 diabetic patients. Therefore, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and 24-h urinary albumin excretion (UAE) were determined in 47 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (27 with new diagnosis of
Target organ status and serum lipids were investigated in white coat hypertension in comparison with sustained hypertension and normotension. We selected three groups balanced for sex, age, body mass index, and smoking habit: 50 sustained hypertensives (clinical hypertension and 24-hour ambulatory
BACKGROUND
White coat hypertension (WCH) is related to target organ damage and increased cardiovascular risk. Arterial elastic properties and urinary protein excretion are determinants of cardiovascular performance and predictors of outcomes. We investigated whether office blood pressure (BP) is a
We compared urinary albumin excretion in normotensive subjects and patients with white coat and established hypertension. The study involved prospective comparison of office blood pressure, daytime ambulatory blood pressure, and urinary albumin excretion in consecutive patients (n = 284) who were
We studied the 24 h urinary excretion of albumin, transferrin, immunoglobulin G, and retinol-binding protein in individuals with essential hypertension, white coat hypertension, and normotension. In 56 individuals, we measured the 24 h ambulatory blood pressure (AMBP). The individuals could be
