Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in the diagnostics of arterial hypertension associated with nephroptosis

: Nephroptosis, associated with renal circulatory disorder, is one of the reasons for symptomatic arterial hypertension (AH). An obvious dependence of blood pressure (BP) level on the body position is a feature of this form of AH. However, this correlation is not always easy to reveal when performing a routine physical examination. The authors of the article adduce 2 clinical observations in which ambulatory BP monitoring became the key method that allowed assuming dynamic vasorenal AH.
