title: [Nocturnal hypertension and cardio-renal association].
abstract: Circadian rhythm of blood pressure (BP) is closely linked with sodium balance. With positive sodium balance the nocturnal BP is elevated, resulting in non-dipper pattern. Nocturnal BP elevation plays an important role in the cardio-renal association to cause the cardiovascular events. It is vey important, therefore, how to lower nocturnal hypertension especially in CKD.
