Relationship between red blood cell distribution width and early-stage renal function damage in patients with essential hypertension

BACKGROUND:Red cell distribution (RDW) has been suggested to be associated with cardiovascular mortality and mortality. However, few studies have yet investigated the possible association between RDW and early-stage renal function damage in patients with primary hypertension without receiving drug t...

Zusammenfassung:BACKGROUND:Red cell distribution (RDW) has been suggested to be associated with cardiovascular mortality and mortality. However, few studies have yet investigated the possible association between RDW and early-stage renal function damage in patients with primary hypertension without receiving drug treatment. Accordingly, the aim of the present study was to evaluate early-stage renal function status in patients with RDW levels. RESULTS:The study included 513 primary hypertension patients (319 men and 194 women) without receiving drug treatment. Significant positive correlation was observed between albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) and RDW in hypertensive patients (r = 0.531, P
