Key result
Aortic pulse pressure strongly correlated with renal resistive index (r=0.62, P<0.001), and each 0.1 increase in renal resistive index was associated with a 5.4-fold increased risk of albuminuria.

Increased aortic pulse pressure and aortic stiffness are strongly correlated with renal microvascular damage, as evidenced by increased renal resistive index and albuminuria.

Aortic pulse pressure may mark renal microvascular risk in hypertension; leaves open whether stiffness reduction improves albuminuria.
Hashimoto et al. (2011) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=133). Aortic pulse pressure strongly correlated with renal resistive index (r=0.62, P<0.001), and each 0.1 increase in renal resistive index was associated with a 5.4-fold increased risk of albuminuria.
