Key result
Mild hypertension increases the risk of subsequent renal disease, with the risk of blood pressure-related end-stage renal disease appearing especially high in Black patients.

This review highlights that mild hypertension is likely a risk factor for end-stage renal disease, particularly in black patients, though further confirmatory studies are needed.
Whelton et al. (1989) conducted a review in Hypertension and renal disease. Hypertension was evaluated on Renal disease and End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Mild hypertension increases the risk of subsequent renal disease, with the risk of blood pressure-related end-stage renal disease appearing especially high in Black patients.
