A particularly insidious aspect of this condition is nocturnal hypertension, characterized by high blood pressure (BP) during sleep and a blunted or absent nighttime BP dipping\u2014phenomena associated with accelerated CKD progression and increased cardiovascular risk. Despite its strong prognostic significance, nocturnal hypertension remains underdiagnosed due to limited use of ambulatory BP monitoring. This narrative review explores the pathophysiological underpinnings of nocturnal hypertension in CKD, including impaired sodium handling, volume overload, autonomic dysfunction and dysregulation of the renin\u2013angiotensin\u2013aldosterone system. Emerging evidence highlights its associations with left ventricular hypertrophy, proteinuria, endothelial dysfunction and poor renal outcomes, emphasizing the need for comprehensive BP profiling and targeted management strategies. Current therapeutic approaches include lifestyle modifications, diuretics and antihypertensive pharmacotherapy, with growing interest in chronotherapy\u2014the timing of medication administration to align with circadian BP rhythms. However, robust clinical data specifically guiding the treatment of nocturnal hypertension in CKD remain scarce. This review underscores the clinical importance of diagnosing and addressing nocturnal BP abnormalities and advocates for future trials focused on optimizing management strategies for this high-risk population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ckj\/sfaf229","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,14]],"date-time":"2025-07-14T14:08:36Z","timestamp":1752502116000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Hypertension
