JASN: Mean changes in office systolic and diastolic BP at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months were ?34/?14, ?25/?11, ?32/?15, and ?33/?19 mmHg, respectively. Night-time ambulatory BP significantly decreased (P<0.05), restoring a more physiologic dipping pattern. In conclusion, this study suggests a favorable short-term safety profile and beneficial BP effects of catheter-based renal nerve ablation in patients with stage 3–4 CKD and resistant hypertension.
