Excerpt

Thanks to the important concerns raised by Anusionwu et al. about our recently published paper. We found that simple renal cysts were independently associated with nocturnal non-dipping in essential hypertensive patients [1]. Anusionwu et al. suggested that the actual and independent association of simple renal cysts and non-dipping phenomenon in essential hypertension is still unclear from our study and several other factors such as salt-sensitivity, renal function impairment and mineralocorticoid excess may play an important role for the development of non-dipping blood pressure. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
