There is limited evidence from one non-RCT that taking an antihypertensive drug (benazepril 10 mg) in the evening did not increase adverse events ( P=0.72) or withdrawals due to adverse events ( P=0.64). Compared with a morning dosing regimen, taking antihypertensive drug in the evening significantly lowered nighttime systolic blood pressure (SBP) ( P<0.0001) and diastolic blood pressure ( P<0.05) in patients in the RCTs but did not affect blood pressure in patients in the non-RCTs ( P<0.05). Taking at least one blood pressure-lowering medication at bedtime was not shown to reduce total death ( P=0.056) or cardiovascular death ( P=0.059) but was shown to reduce total events ( P<0.001) and major cardiovascular events ( P<0.001) in both RCTs and non-RCTs.

Results: Seven trials involving 1277 patients were identified, and the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomized controlled trials (non-RCTs) were classified into two groups. All statistical analyses were performed using the RevMan software, which is available free from the Cochrane Collaboration. Concurrent controlled or crossover trials (including randomized and non-randomized experimental trials) designed to evaluate the effects of evening- versus morning-dosing hypertensive drug regimens on clinical outcomes in CKD patients with hypertension were included. Methods: A comprehensive search of Medline, Embase, the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang Data, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials was performed in July 2014. Our study is designed to identify the effect of evening administration of antihypertensive drugs to hypertensive CKD patients.

Background/Aims: There is a strong correlation between non-dipping status and cardiovascular events in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.
