Blood pressure monitoring in patients receiving bevacizumab.
We have read with great interest the prospective study by Shah et al. [1] assessing the safety of short infusions of bevacizumab. The authors report similar rates of proteinuria and hypertension in patients receiving the standard infusion regimen (over 90, 60 then 30 min), compared with shorter administrations with an infusion rate of 0.5 mg/kg/min. Although we agree with Shah et al. that short...
متن کاملHypertension management in patients receiving hemodialysis: the benefits of home blood pressure monitoring.
Patients with end stage renal disease on hemodialysis are at risk for cardiovascular events and increased mortality. Hypertension contributes to these risks and can be difficult to assess due to unreliable blood pressure (BP) measurements at dialysis centers. A clinical practice grant from the American Nephrology Nurses'Association allowed for the purchase of 35 home BP monitors to study the us...
متن کاملAmbulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients receiving long, slow home haemodialysis.
BACKGROUND Good blood pressure (BP) control has been reported previously in haemodialysis (HD) patients receiving 8-h dialysis sessions. Home HD allows patients to dialyze for long periods, but there are few data on the BP control achieved by these patients. We studied BP control, using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), in our home-HD patients who were receiving long-hours dialysis. ...
متن کاملAmbulatory blood pressure monitoring: an essential tool for blood pressure assessment in uraemic patients.
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) has been growing steadily in popularity, as equipment becomes more portable, accurate and affordable, software packages more powerful, and physicians more accepting of its advantages (see Table 1). However, the most recent guidelines from National and International Hypertension Societies only advocate its use in ‘difficult’ cases (Table 2) [1]. This c...
متن کاملHypertension in young patients after renal transplantation: ambulatory blood pressure monitoring versus casual blood pressure.
The results of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in children after kidney transplant were analyzed to ascertain any alteration in circadian BP profile, degree of hypertension, and efficacy of therapy. The data were also compared with casual BP data and left ventricular mass index (LVMI). We have examined 30 patients (17 male, 13 female), mean age 16.1+/-3.6 years after kidney transpla...
