a

Table values are mean (SD) and percentage for continuous and categorical variables, respectively.

b

Albuminuria was defined as a urinary albumin/urinary creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/g.

c

Conventional hypertension was defined as having a systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg or currently taking antihypertensive medication.

d

Nocturnal hypertension was defined as having a mean systolic blood pressure ≥120 mm Hg or mean diastolic blood pressure ≥70 mm Hg while asleep.

e

Nondipping systolic blood pressure was defined as decline in mean systolic blood pressure from wakefulness to asleep <10%.
