OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether nocturnal blood pressure fall is blunted in @entity2792 and can therefore be used as a diagnostic criterion for this condition. METHODS: In 14 @entity2792 @entity1 (age 43.8+/-2.1 years, mean+/-SEM, clinic blood pressure 173.6+/-3.7 mmHg systolic and 109.0+/-2.0 mmHg diastolic) and in 14 age- and blood pressure-matched essential @entity101 controls 24 h ambulatory blood pressure was measured after washout from drug treatment, during @entity1289 inhibitor treatment and, in @entity2792 , also after percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty. RESULTS: The 24 h average systolic and diastolic blood pressures were 146.4+/-5.7 and 97.5+/-3.6 mmHg in renovascular and 144.3+/-1.2 and 98.0+/-2.2 mmHg in essential @entity101 @entity1 . The @entity1289 inhibitor treatment reduced 24 h average systolic and diastolic blood pressures by 8.5% and 9.7% in the renovascular and by 8.3% and 10.8% in the essential @entity101 group. Greater systolic and diastolic blood pressure reductions (-18.2% and -18.1%) were observed in @entity2792 @entity1 after percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty. Blood pressure fell by about 10% during the night and the fall was similar in renovascular and in essential @entity101 @entity1 . In the former group, @entity551 was similar after washout, during @entity1289 inhibitor treatment and after percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty. Similar results were obtained for nocturnal @entity1168 . CONCLUSIONS: Nocturnal blood pressure fall is equally manifest in renovascular and essential @entity101 . The removal of the @entity2791 and blood pressure normalization do not enhance this phenomenon. @entity551 seems therefore to be unaffected by @entity2792 .

Lack of effect of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty on XXXX in @entity2792 @entity1 .
