Abstract:
PURPOSE: Hypertension (HT) has been known to play an important role in progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, limited data are available in Korean HT patients. We evaluated the prevalence of CKD and the predictors of decrease in kidney function (DKF) in HT patients. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of outpatients with HT in Bundang Seoul National University hospital. DKF was defined as annual loss of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) more than 7% of baseline eGFR. RESULTS: The prevalence of CKD was 51% in 981 total participants. In HT patients without CKD (NCKD-HT), the incidence of DKF was 46.2%. The incidence of DKF in HT patients with CKD (CKD- HT) was 40.8%. Age was only baseline risk factor of DKF in NCKD-HT group. In multifactorial analysis, history of diabetes mellitus (odds ratio [OR], 2.99; 95% Confidence Interval [CI], 1.88+/-4.78), hemoglobin levels (OR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.76+/-0.98), proteinuria (OR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.16+/-2.98), and hematuria (OR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.02+/-2.58) were related to DKF in CKD-HT group. CONCLUSION: We suggest that the prevalence of CKD in HT patients is high and DKF is frequent in both NCKD-HT and CKD-HT groups. The pattern of the predictors of DKF shows the difference between the two groups. Especially diabetes, abnormal urinalysis, and anemia are strongly associated with DKF in CKD-HT group.
