Recent Studies from Mayo Clinic Add New Data to Hypertension (Renal Function Outcomes and Kidney Biopsy Features of Living Kidney Donors With Hypertension)

摘要

2021 MAY 03 (NewsRx) - By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Disease Prevention Daily - Current study results on Cardiovascular Diseases and Conditions - Hypertension have been published. According to news reporting originating from Rochester, Minnesota, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "The medium- to long-term outcomes of living kidney donors with hypertension compared to normotensive donors are not well understood, especially with the recent changes in hypertension guidelines. We studied a cohort of 950 living kidney donors using different definitions of hypertension based on either >= 140/90 or >= 130/80 mmHg thresholds and based on either office or ambulatory blood pressure readings." Financial support for this research came from National Institutes of Health (NIH) - USA. Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Mayo Clinic, "Microstructural features on kidney biopsy at the time of donation were compared using different definitions of hypertension. After adjusting for years of follow-up, age, sex, and baseline eGFR, hypertension (by any definition) did not significantly predict an eGFR = 130/80 mmHg predicting a 40% decline in eGFR (OR = 1.53, 1.00-2.36; p = .051).
