Abstract

Introduction. The patients with non-dipper hypertension have an increased risk for target organ damage because of inflammation and platelet activation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) values and inflammation with platelet indices in children with dipper and non-dipper hypertension.
