Association between undiagnosed hypertension and microalbuminuria in South Asians without known diabetes

Data suggest increased rates of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in those with undiagnosed hypertension (HTN).

Zusammenfassung:Data suggest increased rates of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in those with undiagnosed hypertension (HTN). Our study aimed to determine the prevalence of CKD in undiagnosed hypertensives in a previously unreported subgroup of individuals of South Asian ethnicity. We analysed data from subjects in the ADDITION-Leicester study, a UK based multiethnic, community diabetes screening study. Standard definitions included: HTN—mean recorded BP of ⩾140/90 mm Hg, CKD stage 3 and above—estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)
