Key result
Black individuals with malignant hypertension had a higher risk of renal failure compared with white individuals (HR 2.8; 95% CI 1.1-7.2), mainly due to higher serum creatinine levels at presentation.
Why the study?
Are there ethnic disparities in the incidence, presentation, and complications of malignant hypertension?
Cohort (n=122)
Are there ethnic disparities in the incidence, presentation, and complications of malignant hypertension?
Effect estimate: HR 2.8 (95% CI 1.1-7.2)
Black individuals have a higher incidence of malignant hypertension and related renal complications compared to white individuals, potentially driven by disparities in blood pressure control, drug adherence, and insurance status.

Supports vigilance for renal complications among Black patients with malignant hypertension; leaves open mechanisms and intervention targets.
Born et al. (2006) conducted a cohort in Malignant hypertension (n=122). Black ethnicity vs. White ethnicity was evaluated on Renal failure (HR 2.8, 95% CI 1.1-7.2). Black individuals with malignant hypertension had a higher risk of renal failure compared with white individuals (HR 2.8; 95% CI 1.1-7.2), mainly due to higher serum creatinine levels at presentation.
