Persistence of 'non-dipping' pattern in blood pressure after curative parathyroidectomy in apparently normotensive patients with symptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism.

CONCLUSIONS: AMBP can help detect hypertension in patients with PHPT that remains unrecognized with routine office-based blood pressure measurement. In addition, AMBP detects loss of normal dipping pattern in BP that persists in almost half of the patients even after successful parathyroidectomy, perhaps because of permanent vascular damage induced by PHPT.
