Abstract
It is common for diabetic kidney disease (DKD) to be complicated by abnormal blood glucose, blood lipids, and blood pressure rhythms. Thus, it is essential to examine diagnostic and treatment plans from the perspective of circadian disruption. This brief review discusses the clinical relevance of circadian rhythms in DKD and how the core clock gene encoding brain and muscle arnt-like protein 1 (BMAL1) functions owing to the importance of circadian rhythm disruption processes, including the excretion of urinary protein and irregular blood pressure, which occur in DKD. Exploring Bmal1 and its potential mechanisms and signaling pathways in DKD following contact with Sirt1 and NF-κB is novel and important. Finally, potential pharmacological and behavioral intervention strategies for DKD circadian rhythm disturbance are outlined. This review aids in unveiling novel, potential molecular targets for DKD based on circadian rhythms.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to provide a brief summary about the current state of knowledge regarding the circadian rhythm in the regulation of normal renal function. RECENT FINDINGS There is a lack of information regarding how the circadian clock mechanisms may contribute to the development of diabetic kidney disease. We discuss recent findings regarding mechanisms that are established in diabetic kidney disease and are known to be linked to the circadian clock as possible connections between these two areas. Here, we hypothesize various mechanisms that may provide a link between the clock mechanism and kidney disease in diabetes based on available data from humans and rodent models.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and heart failure (HF) are frequent comorbidities among elderly patients. HF, a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, is characterized by sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is rapidly growing and the risk of developing HF is higher among DM patients. DM is responsible for several macro- and micro-angiopathies that contribute to the development of coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral artery disease, retinopathy, neuropathy and diabetic nephropathy (DN) as well. Independently of CAD, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and DM increase the risk of HF. Individuals with diabetic nephropathy are likely to present a distinct pathological condition, defined as diabetic cardiomyopathy, even in the absence of hypertension or CAD, whose pathogenesis is only partially known. However, several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanism of diabetic cardiomyopathy: increased oxidative stress, altered substrate metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), insulin resistance, and autonomic dysfunction. In this review, we will focus on the involvement of sympathetic system hyperactivity in the diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanisms of Tangshen formula (TSF) for treatment of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Material/Methods Microarray dataset GSE90842 was collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, including renal cortical tissues from normal control (NC), DKD, and DKD mice given TSF for 12 weeks (TSF) (n=3). Differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using LIMMA method. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using data from the STRING database followed by module analysis. The Mirwalk2 database was used to predict the underlying miRNAs of DEGs. Function enrichment analysis was performed using the DAVID tool. Results A total of 2277 and 2182 genes were identified as DEGs between DKD and NC or TSF groups, respectively. After overlap, 373 DEGs were considered as common in 2 comparison groups. Function enrichment indicated common DEGs were related to cell proliferation (Asf1b, anti-silencing function 1B histone chaperone; Anln, anillin, actin-binding protein; Racgap1, Rac GTPase activating protein 1; and Stat5, signal transducer and activator of transcription 5) and circadian rhythm (Arntl, aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like). Racgap1 was considered as a hub gene in the PPI network because it could interact with Asf1b, Anln, and Stat5. Arntl was regulated by miR-669j in the miRNA-DEGs network and this miRNA was also a DEG in 2 comparisons. Conclusions TSF may be effective for DKD by inhibiting Racgap1-stata5-mediated cell proliferation and restoring miR-669j-Arntl-related circadian rhythm.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Given the emerging knowledge that circadian rhythmicity exists in every cell and all organ systems, there is increasing interest in the possible benefits of chronotherapy for many diseases. There is a well-documented 24-h pattern of blood pressure with a morning surge that may contribute to the observed morning increase in adverse cardiovascular events. Historically, antihypertensive therapy involves morning doses, usually aimed at reducing daytime blood pressure surges, but an absence of nocturnal dipping blood pressure is also associated with increased cardiovascular risk. RECENT FINDINGS To more effectively reduce nocturnal blood pressure and still counteract the morning surge in blood pressure, a number of studies have examined moving one or more antihypertensives from morning to bedtime dosing. More recently, such studies of chronotherapy have studied comorbid populations including obstructive sleep apnea, chronic kidney disease, or diabetes. Here, we summarize major findings from recent research in this area (2013-2017). In general, nighttime administration of antihypertensives improved overall 24-h blood pressure profiles regardless of disease comorbidity. However, inconsistencies between studies suggest a need for more prospective randomized controlled trials with sufficient statistical power. In addition, experimental studies to ascertain mechanisms by which chronotherapy is beneficial could aid drug design and guidelines for timed administration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adolescents with type 1 diabetes and obesity present higher cardiovascular risk and ambulatory blood pressure measurements (ABPM) has been shown to predict vascular events, especially by identifying the nondipper status. The aim of our observational cross-sectional study conducted in adolescents with type 1 diabetes, overweight subjects and healthy controls was to assess mean blood pressure parameters to identify subclinical cardiovascular risk. METHODS The study included adolescents patients with type 1 diabetes followed in our Pediatric Department in University of Catania between January 2011 and 2013. A total of 60 patients were enrolled, and 48 (32 male and 16 female) completed the study. For each subject we performed systolic and diastolic Ambulatory Blood Pressure Measurements (ABPM) during wakefulness and sleep recording blood pressure every 30 min for 24 h with the Tonoport V/2 GE CardioSoft V6.51 device. We compared the data of patients with those of overweight subjects and healthy controls. RESULTS ABPM revealed no significant difference between type 1 diabetic patients and overweight subjects in 24 h Systolic, 24 h Diastolic, Day-time Systolic, Night-time systolic and Day-time Diastolic blood pressure values but significantly different values in Night-time Diastolic blood pressure values (p < 0.001). We found significant differences between type 1 diabetic patients and healthy controls in all 24 h Systolic (p < 0.001), 24 h Diastolic (p < 0.01), Day-time Systolic (p < 0.01), Night-time Systolic (p < 0.001), Day-time Diastolic (p < 0.05) and Night-time Diastolic (p < 0.001) blood pressure values. We detected hypertension in 12/48 (25%) type 1 diabetic patients and in 10/48 overweight subjects (p = 0.62; OR 1.2; CI 0.48-3.29), whereas no-one of healthy controls presented hypertension (p < 0.001). We observed nondipper pattern in 40/48 (83.3%) type 1 diabetic patients, in 33/48 (68.8%) overweight subjects (p = 0.094; OR 2.27; CI 0.85-6.01), and in 16/48 (33.3%) of healthy controls (p < 0.001; OR 10; CI 3.79-26.3). CONCLUSIONS ABPM studies might help to define a subset of patients at increased risk for the development of hypertension. In evaluating blood pressure in type 1 diabetes and overweight subjects, ABPM should be used since a reduced dipping can indicate incipient hypertension.

Abstract
Patients with type 1 diabetes (DM-1) have an increased mortality and morbidity risk compared to non-diabetic subjects. Even not recognized clinically at the early period of disease; patients with DM-1 show subtle neurological and cardiovascular abnormalities which is partly responsible for the increased mortality. One of these abnormalities is the disruption of circadian rhythms. Various factors such as autonomic dysfunction, sleep disturbance, smoking, cardiac and kidney function, atherosclerosis, arterial stiffness are suggested to cause these disturbances. Additionally these abnormalities have also implications regarding target organ damage such as microalbuminuria, retinopathy, and structural changes in glomeruli. Surprisingly, there are scarce data regarding the effect of tight blood glucose control and insulin on circadian rhythms in patients with DM-1. By the light of aforementioned data this review will try to summarize causes and consequences of disruption of circadian rhythms and the impact on glycemic control on these issues in patients with DM-1.

Abstract
AbstractDiabetic nephropathy (DN) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients representing a huge health and economic burden. Alarming recent data described diabetes as an unprecedented worldwide epidemic, with a prevalence of ∼6.4% of the world population in 2010, while the prevalence of CKD among diabetics was approximately 40%. With a clinical field hungry for novel markers predicting DN, several clinical and laboratory markers were identified lately with the promise of reliable DN prediction. Among those are age, gender, hypertension, smoking, sex hormones and anemia. In addition, eccentric left ventricular geometric patterns, detected by echocardiography, and renal hypertrophy, revealed by ultrasonography, are promising new markers predicting DN development. Serum and urinary markers are still invaluable elements, including serum uric acid, microalbuminuria, macroalbuminuria, urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (u-LFABP), and urinary nephrin. Moreover, studies have illustrated a tight relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and the development of DN. The purpose of this review is to present the latest advances in identifying promising predictors to DN, which will help guide the future research questions in this field. Aiming at limiting this paramount threat, further efforts are necessary to identify and control independent modifiable risk factors, while developing an integrative algorithm for utilization in DN future screening programs.

Abstract
High-fructose diet is known to produce cardiovascular and metabolic pathologies. The objective was to determine whether the timing of high fructose (10% liquid solution) intake affect the metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes. Male C57BL mice with radiotelemetric probes were divided into four groups: (1) 24 h water (control); (2) 24 h fructose (F24); (3) 12 h fructose during the light phase (F12L); (4) 12 h fructose during the dark phase (F12D). All fructose groups had higher fluid intake. Body weight was increased in mice on restricted access with no difference in total caloric intake. Fasting glycemia was higher in groups with restricted access. F24 mice showed a fructose-induced blood pressure increase during the dark period. Blood pressure circadian rhythms were absent in F12L mice. Results suggest that the timing of fructose intake is an important variable in the etiology of cardiovascular and metabolic pathologies produced by high fructose consumption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertensive patients with reduced blood pressure fall (BPF) at night are at higher risk of cardiovascular events (CVE). METHODS We evaluated in hypertensive diabetic patients, if a reduced nocturnal BPF can precedes the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). We followed 70 patients with normal urinary albumin excretion (UAE) for two years. We performed 24-hours ambulatory BP monitoring in baseline and at the end of the study. RESULTS Fourteen (20%) patients (GI) developed DN (N = 11) and/or CVE (n = 4). Compared to the remaining 56 patients (GII) in baseline, GI had similar diurnal systolic (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP), but higher nocturnal SBP (138 +/- 15 vs 129 +/- 16 mmHg; p < 0.05) and DBP (83 +/- 12 vs 75 +/- 11 mmHg; p < 0,05). Basal nocturnal SBP correlated with occurrence of DN and CVE (R = 0.26; P < 0.05) and with UAE at the end of the study (r = 0.3; p < 0.05). Basal BPF (%) correlated with final UAE (r = -0.31; p < 0.05). In patients who developed DN, reductions occurred in nocturnal systolic BPF (12 +/- 5 vs 3 +/- 6%, p < 0,01) and diastolic BPF (15 +/- 8 vs 4 +/- 10%, p < 0,01) while no changes were observed in diurnal SBP (153 +/- 17 vs 156 +/- 16 mmHg, NS) and DBP (91 +/- 9 vs 90 +/- 7 mmHg, NS). Patients with final UAE < 20 microg/min, had no changes in nocturnal and diurnal BP. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggests that elevations in nocturnal BP precedes DN and increases the risk to develop CVE in hypertensive patients with T2DM.

Abstract
When diabetes is associated with cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction, there is a poor prognosis and increased morbidity and mortality. Information on the mechanisms of diabetes-associated autonomic dysfunction has been provided by advanced studies using physiological, pharmacological, anatomical and molecular methods in experimental animal models of insulin deficiency and resistance. This has been augmented by new approaches which combine diabetes induction with genetically modified animal models. The aim of this review is to outline and discuss the animal models used for the study of insulin deficiency and insulin resistance with a focus on autonomic neural interactions. The goal is to better understand the clinical relevance of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction associated with diabetes.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine a possible difference in the 24-h blood pressure (BP) profile between hypertensives with diabetic nephropathy (DN) and those with non-diabetic glomerulopathy (non-DN). We measured 24-h ambulatory BP in 34 type 2 DN and 34 non-DN patients who were hospitalized for the educational program in our hospital. There were no significant differences in 24-h and daytime systolic BP between DN (143 vs. 136 mmHg, NS for 24-h systolic BP) and non-DN (143 vs. 138 mmHg, NS for daytime systolic BP). Although both groups disclosed blunted nocturnal decrease in BP and were classified as "non-dipper" type, DN patients had a significantly higher nighttime systolic BP than patients with non-DN (142 vs. 132 mmHg, p = 0.0217). BP and heart rate (HR) variabilities were also estimated, and patients with DN showed a reduced nighttime HR variability than those with non-DN (4.8 vs. 6.6 beats/min, p = 0.0115). DN patients had an increase in urinary protein excretion (3.0 vs. 1.4 g/day, p = 0.0095) and a decrease in serum albumin concentration (3.1 vs. 3.7 mg/dl, p < 0.0001). Furthermore, urinary protein excretion was significantly correlated with nighttime systolic BP (r = 0.480, p = 0.0031) but not with nighttime HR variability. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the circadian rhythms of BP and HR are affected by underlying diseases and suggest that an elevated nighttime BP level may contribute to the enhanced urinary protein excretion in hypertensives with DN.

Abstract
Antihypertensive treatment in diabetes mellitus, especially in diabetics known to have cardiac autonomic neuropathy, may have to consider the status of the autonomic nervous system. In diabetic subjects with cardiac autonomic neuropathy, vagal activity during the night is often reduced. The reduction results in relative or absolute sympathetic activation, which could increase cardiovascular risk. Pathophysiological and clinical data suggests that antihypertensive treatment should reduce rather than induce sympathetic activity in this setting. Beta blocking agents, ACE inhibitors, calcium antagonists of verapamil or diltiazem type and selective imidazoline receptor agonists reduce sympathetic activity and, therefore, may have a beneficial effect in diabetic patients with disturbed sympathovagal balance.

Abstract
Evidence suggests a relationship between short-term blood pressure (BP) variability and cardiovascular target-organ damage. Although a blunted nocturnal decrease in BP and reduced heart rate variability have been shown to be associated with cardiovascular morbidity in diabetic patients, little information is available on short-term BP variability. In this study, short-term BP variability was assessed in 36 subjects with type 2 diabetes and overt nephropathy who underwent ambulatory BP monitoring, and the factors that correlated with short-term BP variability were examined. The incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) was significantly greater in the patients with increased 24-h systolic BP variability (67% versus 11%; p < 0.0005), while that of cerebrovascular disease was not significantly affected (61% versus 50%). Multiple stepwise regression analysis revealed that serum cholesterol (cholesterol) and plasma norepinephrine (p-NE) were significant and independent contributors to nighttime systolic BP variability (partial R2 = 0.490, p < 0.001; partial R2 = 0.470, p < 0.001) and demonstrated that body mass index and p-NE were primary determinants of nighttime diastolic BP variability (partial R2 = 0.539, p < 0.0005; partial R2 = 0.304, p < 0.05). Diabetic nephropathy patients with CAD had significantly increased daytime systolic (17.8 mmHg versus 13.1 mmHg, p < 0.0005), nighttime systolic (17.4 mmHg versus 10.5 mmHg, p < 0.0001), and nighttime diastolic (10.4 mmHg versus 7.2 mmHg, p < 0.05) BP variability. Furthermore, logistic regression analysis demonstrated that nighttime systolic BP variability was an independent risk factor for CAD (odds ratio 3.13 [95% CI 1.02-9.61]; p < 0.05). The increase in nighttime BP variability is associated with a proportional sympathetic activation in diabetic nephropathy. Elevated short-term BP variability combined with relative sympathetic prevalence during the night might represent an important risk factor for cardiovascular events in the diabetic population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of fructose consumption on the light/dark pattern of blood pressure, heart rate and autonomic neural function in mice. BACKGROUND Insulin resistant diabetes is associated with hypertension and autonomic dysfunction. There is evidence that the increasing incidence of diabetes may be related to dietary changes, including consumption of high levels of fructose. DESIGN/METHODS C57/BL mice, instrumented with radiotelemetric arterial catheters, were fed a control or high fructose diet (60%). Cardiovascular parameters measured were light/dark pattern of mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and variability (time and frequency domain). We also measured plasma insulin, glucose, lipids and angiotensin II (Ang II) as well as glucose tolerance. In situ hybridization was used to measure brainstem expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and Ang AT1a mRNA. RESULTS Fructose diet (8 weeks) produced an increase in MAP, variance and low frequency domain (14+/-3 vs. 33+/-4 mm Hg(2), variance and 10+/-2 vs. 26+/-4 mm Hg(2), LF, control vs. fructose, P<0.01). The changes occurred only at night, a period of activity for mice. Glucose tolerance was attenuated in the fructose group. Fructose also increased plasma cholesterol (80+/-1 vs. 126+/-2 mg/dl, control vs. fructose, P<0.05) and plasma Ang II (18+/-5 vs.65+/-12 pg/ml, control vs. fructose, P<0.05). Depressor responses to alpha(1)-adrenergic blockade with prasozin were augmented in fructose-fed mice. Using quantitative in situ hybridization, we found that Ang AT1a receptor and TH mRNA expression were significantly increased in the brainstem locus coeruleus. CONCLUSION A high fructose diet in mice produced nocturnal hypertension and autonomic imbalance which may be related to activation of sympathetic and angiotensin systems.

Abstract
Blood pressure (BP) varies according to cycles characterized by a reduction during sleep and an increase on awakening. The nighttime decrease is absent or blunted in some patients (termed "non-dippers"). Cross-sectional and prospective data have shown that non-dippers have more target organ damage than have dippers in normotensive and hypertensive subjects. We reviewed the English language literature regarding this association. A non-fortuitous association seems to exist between non-dipper status and cardiovascular risk such as stroke and cardiac events. Among diabetic patients, this phenomenon has been described to occur more often in individuals with autonomic neuropathy and with different degrees of diabetic nephropathy. In normoalbuminuric normotensive type I diabetic patients without any degree of autonomic dysfunction, according to traditional cardiovascular tests, diastolic BP (dBP) night/day ratio is associated with an increased glomerular filtration rate and an increased extracellular volume. The disruption of the circadian rhythm of sympathovagal activity in non-dipper patients was associated with higher levels in systolic BP (sBP) and dBP and with a reduced decline in sBP and dBP levels during the night. Therefore, the prognostic implications of the non-dipper status may be important since the overall 24-h blood pressure load is elevated in these individuals. These data suggest that patients in whom blood pressure decreases during the night incur less damage to their brain, kidneys, heart, and blood vessels than people with elevated nocturnal BP.

Abstract
ALLHAT was designed to test the hypothesis that "newer" antihypertensive agents are superior to a thiazide diuretic for cardiovascular outcomes. Pre-specified secondary outcomes included the development of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (dialysis, renal transplantation, or death from renal cause) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR). ALLHAT showed no differences in the overall rates of ESRD between those randomized to chlorthalidone, amlodipine, or lisinopril. It showed a slower rate of decline of GFR among those randomized to amlodipine in both diabetics and nondiabetics, and in the composite end point (ESRD or > or = 50% decline in GFR) in nondiabetics. The results of ALLHAT are consistent with other studies that, for the patient population studied (presumably largely nonalbuminuric patients with and without diabetes), at systolic BP > 130 mm Hg, there is no difference for renal outcomes between a thiazide diuretic, dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, and ACEI-initiated treatment for 5 to 6 years of follow-up. These results suggest that BP control per se remains the most important objective for this patient population.

Abstract
Blood pressure strongly predicts microalbuminuria and later progression to renal failure in people with diabetes. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring seems to be superior to office blood pressure in predicting progression to microalbuminuria in type 1 diabetes. The associations of ambulatory blood pressure with office blood pressure and microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes remain unclear. We studied the association of office blood pressure taken with an automated device and ambulatory blood pressure with spot urine albumin:creatinine ratio in 1180 older people with type 2 diabetes participating in the Informatics for Diabetes Education and Telemedicine Study. Office and awake systolic blood pressure were independently associated with albuminuria (P<0.001 for both) in a multivariate linear regression analysis that adjusted for age, gender, duration of diabetes, hemoglobin A1c, number of antihypertensive medications, and use of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker. Twelve percent of participants had well-controlled office blood pressure but not ambulatory blood pressure, whereas 14% had well-controlled ambulatory but not office blood pressure. The prevalence of microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria in these subgroups was intermediate between those with well-controlled or uncontrolled blood pressure by both methods. We found, in a multiethnic group of older subjects with type 2 diabetes, that office systolic blood pressure and awake systolic ambulatory blood pressure exhibited independent associations with degree of albuminuria.

Abstract
The retinopathy and nephropathy are among the most prevalent and disabling complications associated to microvascular damage in diabetes mellitus. The severity of hyperglycaemia and the presence of arterial systemic hypertension are among the main risk factors for these complications. The ambulatory blood pressure provided a better understanding of patterns of blood pressure in diabetic patients. There is a growing number of evidence relating diabetic patients with abnormal 24 h blood pressure patterns. Even subtle modifications of these patterns, frequently shown by patients diagnosed as normotensives in office blood pressure measurings, may be implicated in an increased risk of microvascular complications. Hyperglycaemia and these abnormal pressure patterns appear to have a synergistic effect on promoting and aggravating diabetic retinopathy. Impairment of the normal retinal autoregulation is one of the implicated physiopathological mechanisms. Probably, ABP may be useful in predicting an increased risk of microvascular complications on diabetic normotensive patients. The objective of this paper is to provide an updated and clinically oriented review in blood pressure homeostasis and diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Diabetes remains the number one cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. Only about one third of diabetic patients develop nephropathy, and the risk appears to be, in part, genetically determined. In this article, we review clinical and genetic markers for the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy. Microalbuminuria remains the best available predictor of the subsequent development of nephropathy, even though in recent years it has become clear that less than 50% of individuals with type 1 diabetes progress to overt proteinuria over a period of less than 10 years. It is of great interest for early recognition of risk of nephropathy that small elevations in nighttime blood pressure predict microalbuminuria in type 1 diabetes. Genetic markers for diabetic nephropathy have not been conclusively identified. The occurrence of renal events in diabetic patients, however, appears to be influenced by the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) genotype, with a dominant deleterious effect of the D allele (D/D or I/D) versus I/I genotype. Some patients with the DD genotype also appear less susceptible to the renoprotective effects of conventional doses of ACE inhibitors, suggesting that ACE genotyping might be useful in selecting those patients that could benefit from higher doses of ACE inhibitors and more aggressive treatment to prevent or delay disease progression.

Abstract
Investigations using chronic blood pressure (BP) radiotelemetry in conscious animals have provided substantial insights into the pathophysiology of hypertensive renal damage. Normal renal autoregulation protects the renal microvasculature from significant injury in most patients with primary hypertension, unless BP exceeds a certain threshold, when malignant nephrosclerosis develops. However, if autoregulation is impaired, as in chronic renal disease and/or diabetes models, the threshold for renal damage is lowered and glomerulosclerosis (GS) increases linearly with increasing BP. Modest BP reductions are predicted to prevent malignant nephrosclerosis, but prevention of GS in patients with diabetes and chronic renal disease requires that BP be lowered well into the normotensive range, as recognized in the currently recommended BP goals. When BP load is accurately assessed in these experimental models, renal protection is proportional to the achieved BP reductions, and there is little evidence of BP-independent protection, even with agents that block the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Recent clinical data also suggest that achieving lower BP targets might be vastly more important than the choice of therapeutic regimens. Nevertheless, because aggressive diuretic use is usually necessary to achieve such BP goals, RAS blockade should be included as initial therapy both for antihypertensive synergy and to minimize the potassium and magnesium depletion associated with diuretics.

Abstract
Patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes and nephropathy frequently have a blunted fall in nighttime arterial blood pressure. This abnormality is already seen in subjects with type 1 diabetes who are in the microalbuminuric phase of the disease, and we have also shown that an increase in nighttime systolic blood pressure precedes the development of microalbuminuria. These studies suggest that nocturnal hypertension may be an important early predictor of diabetic nephropathy. Various drugs have different effects on nocturnal blood pressure, and chronotherapy may be key in determining clinical outcomes. There is a compelling need for studies showing that treating nocturnal hypertension in diabetes can prevent renal disease progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the COOPERATE trial, the combination treatment of the angiotensin-II receptor blocker losartan and the angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor trandolapril significantly retarded progression of non-diabetic kidney disease compared with each monotherapy. The benefit could be greatly attributable to the potent reduction of proteinuria, because the three treatment groups showed the same reductions of office blood pressure (OBP). Ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) is reported to be better than OBP in predicting progression of kidney disease. METHODS Ninety-two patients enrolled in the COOPERATE trial underwent 24-hour ABP monitoring at randomization and at month 6, year 1, year 2 and year 3 on randomized treatment. RESULTS Both OBP and ABP were similarly reduced among the three groups at all measurement points (p = NS) and throughout the whole study period (p = NS). No significant correlation between the change in 24-hour ABP and the change in proteinuria was seen (p = NS). A Cox-multivariable analysis showed that covariates affecting the renal outcomes (a doubling serum-Cr level and/or end-stage renal failure) were the change in proteinuria (hazard ratio 0.49, 95% CI 0.34-0.78, p = 0.01) and treatments (0.58, 0.45-0.99, 0.03), but not 24-hour ABP (0.98, 0.89-2.01, 0.17). CONCLUSION The better renoprotective effect of the combination treatment is attributed to BP-independent mechanisms by more complete renin-angiotensin system blockade.

Abstract
Ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring has been in use for nearly four decades. In that time, the advantages of using a more reproducible and accurate method to assess the true contribution of blood pressure to the cardiovascular risk profile of patients have steadily become more clearly established, balanced by the additional expense and expertise involved. In nephrology, and in particular in dialysis patients, there are significant difficulties in accurately registering truly representative blood pressure values and understanding the relationship between blood pressure, end-organ damage, and patient mortality. This arises because of the way in which hemodialysis acutely changes blood pressure values as well as the widespread abnormality of diurnal blood pressure rhythm seen in dialysis patients. Use of ABP monitoring can go some way to overcoming these obstacles. In this review we critically examine the use of ABP monitoring in the understanding of blood pressure control in dialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate diagnosis of hypertension is essential in chronic kidney disease patients, as it is linked to increased left ventricular mass, stroke, cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, and progression to end-stage renal disease. Elevated blood pressure (BP) detected by ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) has been shown to be predictive of worse outcome in chronic kidney disease patients. Another predictor of worse outcome is diurnal BP variation, measured also by ABPM. In this study, the authors examined the relationship (concordance or discordance) between blood pressure measured by ABPM compared with daytime office BP, and also explored the predictors of diurnal variation in renal transplant recipients. METHODS All the patients who underwent renal transplantation and follow-up at the authors' institution from January 1998 to January 2003 were involved in this study (n=177) in addition to another randomly selected 64 patients that underwent transplantation before 1998. All patients had their ABPM performed according to previously described protocols at least 2 weeks after discharge from the hospital, dialysis-independent and with a functioning renal allograft. RESULTS The authors found a positive correlation between systolic BP (SBP) diurnal variation and age (r =0.263, P <0.0001), glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (r =-0.229, P <0.0001), cyclosporine trough (r =0.171, P =0.047), and ABPM-to-transplant interval (r =-0.133, P =0.039). After fitting a regression model, the authors found that only GFR (P <0.0001) and age (P =0.001) were independent predictors of SBP diurnal variation (r =0.357). Concordance rate between casual BP and ABPM was 80%, and by using casual BP, only 15% of hypertensive renal transplant patients would be erroneously diagnosed as normotensive. CONCLUSIONS The authors found that SBP diurnal variation is predicted independently by age and GFR, although it does correlate with cyclosporine trough and ABPM-to-transplant interval. In addition, the authors showed that ABPM is a more sensitive method for diagnosing hypertension than is sole reliance on office BP in renal transplant recipients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether there is a relation between dipping/nondipping status and end-organ damage (measured as renal glomerulopathy) and long-term renal function in order to predict the development of nephropathy in normoalbuminuric patients with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Analysis of renal biopsy and ambulatory blood pressure measurements was done in relation to renal function tests performed during a 10-year period. Forty unselected patients (16 girls), with a mean age of 17.7 years and a mean duration of 10.7 years, were studied. The renal biopsies were examined by electron microscopy. Ambulatory blood pressure was monitored (Space Labs 90 207). Systolic nondippers were defined as a <7%, diastolic nondippers as a <14%, and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) nondippers as a <12% fall in blood pressure during the night. Renal function was evaluated every other year by clearances of inulin (glomerular filtration rate [GFR]) and para-amino hippurate (effective renal plasma flow [ERPF]), and filtration fraction (GFR/ERPF) was calculated. Overnight urinary albumin excretion rate and long-term mean HbA(1c) were measured. RESULTS MAP (27% of the patients) and diastolic nondippers (12%) had a significantly thicker basement membrane; larger mesangial matrix volume fraction; and higher long-term GFR, nighttime heart rate, and mean HbA(1c) than dippers. CONCLUSIONS Nondipping status was related to more renal morphological changes and long-term hyperfiltration in normoalbuminuric adolescents and young adults, despite a short duration of type 1 diabetes. Nondipping status may be an early predictor of later nephropathy.

Abstract
The cumulative incidence of diabetic nephropathy in Type 1 diabetes mellitus is in the order of 25 30%. The recognition that elevated blood pressure (BP) is a major factor in the progression of these patients to end-stage renal failure has led to the widespread use of antihypertensive therapy in order to preserve glomerular filtration rate and ultimately to reduce mortality. The routine measurement of microalbuminuria allows early identification of the subgroup of patients at increased risk of developing clinical nephropathy. Microalbuminuric Type 1 diabetic patients show a number of characteristic pathological abnormalities. In addition to elevated BP and abnormal circadian rhythm, there are also associated abnormalities of vagal function, lipid profile and endothelial function, as well as an increased prevalence of retinopathy. The first section of this two-part review focusses on the early changes associated with renal involvement in Type 1 diabetes. It addresses the associations between urinary albumin excretion, glycaemic control, smoking, BP, circadian BP variation, QT interval abnormalities and autonomic function in three groups of patients; those with normoalbuminuria, those progressing towards microalbuminuria and those with established low-grade microalbuminuria.

Abstract
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring has been steadily growing in popularity as equipment becomes more accurate, affordable, and patient-friendly. In addition, software packages are more powerful and physician-customizable, and more physicians are accepting of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring's advantages. Summarizing the studies that deal mainly with hemodialysis patients, there are clear advantages to using more than isolated pre- and posthemodialysis blood pressure readings. If enough predialysis blood pressure readings are taken and averaged, this is a reasonable guide to end-organ damage (ie, left ventricular hypertrophy). Home and ambulatory blood pressure-derived values are complementary, and only this approach can discern any further contribution from diurnal blood pressure elevation. The cross-sectional association between blood pressure and end-organ damage is very weak in end-stage renal disease patients if the blood pressure values are "casual," but the relationship is much stronger when ambulatory blood pressure monitoring-derived measurements are used. One prospective study clearly linked the sustained loss of diurnal blood pressure fall with sleep with progressive left ventricular dilatation. Loss of circadian variation in blood pressure is associated with an increased mortality rate for dialysis patients and for diabetic patients, regardless of diabetes type. The combination of nondipping in renal impairment leads to a high mortality rate. Much more work is needed to dissect out the causes for abnormal diurnal blood pressure rhythm and attempt to modulate this parameter. Obstructive sleep apnea may be a promising target for intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and microalbuminuria often have elevated blood pressure while they are asleep, but it is not known whether the elevation develops concomitantly with microalbuminuria or precedes it. METHODS We monitored 75 adolescents and young adults who had had type 1 diabetes with normal urinary albumin excretion and blood pressure for more than five years. Ambulatory blood-pressure monitoring was used to assess blood pressure at the initial evaluation and about two years later, at which time all subjects had normal urinary albumin excretion. Subsequently, subjects were monitored for the development of microalbuminuria. RESULTS Microalbuminuria developed in 14 subjects, whereas the other 61 continued to have normal urinary albumin excretion. The mean (+/-SD) systolic pressure during sleep increased significantly in the subjects who ultimately had microalbuminuria (from 109.9+/-11.3 to 114.9+/-11.7 mm Hg, P=0.01) but not in the subjects with normal albumin excretion (from 106.0+/-8.8 to 106.4+/-14.8 mm Hg). The risk of progression to microalbuminuria was examined in relation to the ratio of systolic pressure during sleep to systolic pressure in the daytime. A ratio of 0.9 or lower, used to define a normal fall in nocturnal pressure, had a negative predictive value of 91 percent for the development of microalbuminuria. Moreover, the risk of microalbuminuria was 70 percent lower (95 percent confidence interval, 44 to 110 percent) in subjects with a ratio of 0.9 or less than in those with a ratio higher than 0.9 (P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS In persons with type 1 diabetes, an increase in systolic blood pressure during sleep precedes the development of microalbuminuria. In those whose blood pressure during sleep decreases normally, the progression from normal albumin excretion to microalbuminuria appears to be less likely.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to evaluate the diurnal variation in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and the potential mechanisms responsible for such variations in GFR and albuminuria in diabetic nephropathy. METHODS In three 24-hour urine samples, divided into a night- and daytime portion, diurnal variation in albuminuria (ELISA) was assessed. Furthermore, during recumbency changes in albuminuria, GFR (51Cr-EDTA plasma clearance) and arterial blood pressure (TM2420) from nighttime (00:00 to 05:00 hours) to subsequent daytime (08:00 to 13:00 hours) were examined in 20 type 1 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy. RESULTS The 24-hour urine collections showed an average rise in albuminuria from night- to daytime of 51% (95% CI; 16 to 95; P < 0.01). During recumbency a non-significant rise was recorded from night- to daytime in albuminuria (22%, -8 to 61, P=0.15), simultaneously with an increase in GFR of 9.0% (3.4 to 14.5, P < 0.005) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) of 8.0% (4.3 to 11.7, P < 0.0001). No diurnal variation in fractional clearance of albumin was found. Significant associations between MABP and albuminuria were demonstrated during night- (R2=0.50; P < 0.001) and daytime (R2=0.48; P < 0.005). A linear regression analysis between diurnal variations in MABP and GFR showed that an increase in MABP (of 10%) from night- to daytime was associated with a significant increase in GFR (of 8.0%, 0.2 to 4.1, P < 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed diurnal variations in GFR, albuminuria and MABP in diabetic nephropathy, with lowest values during sleep at night. The observed diurnal variation in albuminuria seems to be explained partly by mechanisms related to orthostasis, and partly by the diurnal variation in GFR and serum albumin concentration. The diurnal variation of blood pressure seems to play a role for the diurnal changes in GFR and albuminuria.

Abstract
Serious adverse cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, and stroke, frequently result from rupture of atherosclerotic plaques with superimposed thrombosis and exhibit a pronounced circadian rhythmicity, peaking in the morning hours. Two potentially synergistic mechanisms play a pathogenic role in the circadian variation of arterial thrombotic events. A morning surge in sympathetic activity alters hemodynamic forces and predisposes vulnerable coronary atherosclerotic plaques to rupture. Day-night variations of hemostatic and fibrinolytic factors result in morning hypercoagulability and hypofibrinolysis, promoting intraluminal thrombus formation at the same time when the risk for plaque rupture is highest. Diabetic patients have a very high cardiac event rate but fail to show normal circadian fluctuations in the occurrence of myocardial infarction. Alterations in the circadian variation autonomic tone, blood pressure, and the thrombotic-thrombolytic equilibrium have been documented in diabetic patients. These include reduced or absent 24-h periodicity in autonomic tone, fibrinolytic activity, and thrombotic tendency, and a blunted decline in nocturnal blood pressure. Disruption of these circadian rhythms explains the lack of significant circadian distribution of cardiac events in diabetic patients. Moreover, the loss of these normal biorhythms results in a continuous susceptibility to thrombotic events throughout the day and may contribute to the excess cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in these patients.

Abstract
Otsuka Long Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats were developed as a model of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) with mild obesity. Changes in carcass composition and in the daily profile of energy expenditure were examined before and after manifestation of diabetes (8 and 24 wk, respectively), and compared with the normal control Long Evans Tokushima (LETO) rats and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic LETO rats. OLETF rats had greater body weights than LETO rats and significantly greater absolute and relative fat weights. A diurnal rhythm of energy expenditure associated with two peaks was observed in LETO rats, but the two peaks were not apparent in OLETF rats at 24 wk of age. A diurnal rhythm associated with one peak was observed in STZ-induced diabetic LETO rats. Energy derived from fat constituted this peak; the pattern of the daily energy expenditure was significantly different from that of either nontreated LETO or OLETF rats at 24 wk of age. NIDDM in OLETF rats at 24 wk of age has only a small role in modification of the diurnal rhythm of energy expenditure, whereas STZ-induced diabetes significantly affected the rhythm.

Abstract
Our aim was to compare the diurnal blood pressure patterns of people with Type 1 diabetes on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD, n=9) or haemodialysis (n=10) to diabetic patients with normo-albuminuria (n=12) or micro-albuminuria (n=15). Blood pressure was measured with an ABPM02 Meditech oscillometric blood pressure monitor. The micro-albuminuric group had significantly higher nocturnal diastolic and mean arterial pressures than the normo-albuminuric group. CAPD and haemodialysis patients had significantly higher day time, nocturnal mean systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressures. Micro-albuminuric and end-stage renal failure patients displayed a loss of the physiological drop of systolic blood pressure, which was only significant in the normo-albuminuric group. Nocturnal drop of blood pressure characterised by diurnal indices were 7.4% in the CAPD, 8.8% in the haemodialysis, 10.0% in the micro-albuminuric and 16.5% in the normo-albuminuric group. These results suggest, that pathological circadian blood pressure variation is common in diabetic patients on dialysis, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring can be a useful tool both in its the detection and its adequate treatment.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the relevance of circadian blood pressure variation to future morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus. METHODS A retrospective descriptive 4 year follow-up study of data collected after ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in a clinic setting. RESULTS Seventy-five patients (46 male; 29 female) of whom 41 % had Type 1 diabetes and 59% Type 2 were followed up for a median of 42 months (11-56). The median creatinine for the whole group at baseline was 101 (56-501) micromol/l. The median circadian blood pressures for the total study population were 147 (110-194)/87 (66-109) mmHg during daytime and 132 (86-190)/77 (50-122) mmHg during night-time. Half of the patients exhibited a fall in night-time pressures to 10% lower than daytime pressures (dippers). Dippers were younger, 47 (32-75) years, than non-dippers, 57 (35-79) years, P = 0.03. Over time, dippers had a lower mortality than non-dippers, with 8% deaths in the cohort of dippers, 26% deaths in the cohort of non-dippers, P = 0.04. Cox regression analysis revealed significant contributions from age, duration of diabetes and baseline renal function to subsequent mortality in non-dippers. Analysing current degree of renal impairment and original dipper status together revealed that, of those patients whose creatinine remained normal, 7% of patients whose blood pressure dipped had subsequently died and 10% of non-dipping patients had died; of those patients whose creatinine unequivocally rose, 10% of dipping patients had died and 42% of non-dipping patients had died, P = 0.03 CONCLUSIONS Loss of circadian variation in blood pressure is associated with an increased mortality rate, regardless of diabetes type. The combination of non-dipping and subsequent renal impairment leads to the highest mortality rate. The study suggests a role for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in day-to-day clinical practice to select patients with nephropathy who are at greatest risk, in an effort to alter outcome.

Abstract
AIMS To elucidate the putative factors involved in the blunted nocturnal blood pressure reduction in hypertensive Type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy. METHODS Extracellular fluid volume and fluid shift from interstitial to plasma volume (haematocrit), sympathetic nervous activity (plasma noradrenaline and adrenaline) and the internal 'body clock' (serum melatonin) were investigated in 31 hypertensive Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with diabetic nephropathy (24 males, age 60 (45-73) years). All variables, except extracellular volume, were measured repeatedly with the patients lying awake in bed from 21:30 to 23:00 h (baseline) and during sleep from 23:00 to 07:00 h. Using the median nocturnal blood pressure reduction (8.4%) as a guide, the patients were divided into groups; group 1 with the highest and group 2 with the lowest nocturnal blood pressure reduction. RESULTS Haematocrit decreased from baseline to the sleep period in group 1 by a mean (95% confidence interval (CI)) of 1.7 (0.3-3.1)%, but it increased by 0.5 (-1.0-1.9)% in group 2, mean difference (95% CI), -2.1 (-4.0 to -0.2)% (P = 0.029). Noradrenaline decreased from baseline to the sleep period, mean (95% CI), by 13.3 (0.0-25.0)% in group 1 but rose by 7.7 (-9.7-28.4)% in group 2, mean difference (95% CI), -19.6 (-35-0.0)% (P = 0.049). The nocturnal blood pressure change correlated to the nocturnal change in both noradrenaline (r = 0.51, P = 0.004) and haematocrit (r = 0.42, P = 0.018). Adrenaline remained constant in both groups. Extracellular fluid volume and plasma melatonin levels were comparable in the two groups. CONCLUSION Sustained adrenergic activity during sleep is associated with blunted nocturnal blood pressure reduction in hypertensive Type 2DM patients with diabetic nephropathy, probably mediated through a lack of peripheral vasodilatation whereas changes in extracellular fluid volume distribution and melatonin secretion have no impact.

Abstract
We examined the circadian rhythm of urinary sodium excretion and the effects of sodium restriction on rhythm in both dipper and nondipper types of essential hypertension. Patients (n = 26) with essential hypertension were maintained on relatively high- (10 to 12 g/d of sodium chloride) and low-sodium (1 to 3 g/d) diets for 1 week each. On the last day of each diet, 24-hour blood pressures (BPs) were measured every 30 minutes noninvasively with an automatic device, and on the last 3 days, urinary samples were collected for both daytime (7:00 AM to 9:30 PM) and nighttime (9:30 PM to 7:00 AM). Eight patients were classified as dippers based on a more than 10% reduction in mean arterial pressure (MAP) from daytime to nighttime on a high-sodium diet, and 18 patients were classified as nondippers. A nocturnal decrease in urinary sodium excretion rate (U(Na)V) on the high-sodium diet was observed in dippers (from 7.5 +/- 2.1 during the day to 5.3 +/- 2.5 mmol/h at night; P < 0.0001), but not in nondippers (6.7 +/- 2.1 v 7.6 +/- 2.3 mmol/h; not significant). In nondippers, the night-day ratio of sodium excretion was significantly reduced from 1.2 +/- 0.4 to 0.8 +/- 0.3 (P < 0.003) by sodium restriction; at the same time, the night-day ratio of MAP was reduced from 0.98 +/- 0.04 to 0.93 +/- 0.05 (P < 0.05). In dippers, the night-day ratios of MAP and U(Na)V were not affected by sodium restriction, and both ratios remained constant at less than 1. Before sodium restriction, the night-day ratio of sodium excretion correlated with that of MAP (r = 0.78; P < 0.0001), whereas there was no significant correlation (r = -0.05) after sodium restriction. These findings showed that the circadian rhythm of renal sodium excretion differed between the two types of essential hypertension. The enhanced nocturnal natriuresis and diminished nocturnal BP fall on a high-sodium diet, recognized in nondippers, were both normalized by sodium restriction, resulting in circadian rhythms with nocturnal dips in U(Na)V and BP.
