Implication

Cohort study shows that hypertension development correlates with reduced renal survival in IgA nephropathy, highlighting high blood pressure as a driver of disease progression.

Key Points

To evaluate the prognostic importance of baseline and emerging hypertension on disease progression and long-term renal survival in patients with IgA nephropathy.
Monitored blood pressure and kidney function over time in a cohort of 209 patients diagnosed with IgA nephropathy via renal biopsy.
Assessed survival statistics to determine long-term normotension rates and calculated 3-year renal survival following hypertension onset.
Of 209 patients, 26 were hypertensive at biopsy and 59 developed hypertension during follow-up, with survival analysis projecting only 45% remain normotensive at 10 years post-biopsy.
Renal survival was 70% at 3 years after the diagnosis of hypertension among the 59 patients who developed high blood pressure during follow-up.
Baseline poor-prognosis markers significantly correlated with initial hypertension and predicted subsequent hypertension onset in previously normotensive patients.
