Morning Hypertension as a Factor Independently Associated with Renal Dysfunction in Hypertensive Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Key takeaways

This study looked at people with high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease. It found that high blood pressure in the morning is linked to worse kidney function. This shows a connection, but it does not prove that morning blood pressure causes the damage. Keeping blood pressure low all day may help protect your kidneys.
