Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Elevated diastolic and systolic casual blood pressures, pulse rates and serum creatinine levels were found in G-6-PD-deficient Negro men as compared with nondeficient age-matched controls. There is thus a possible role of G-6-PD in the metabolic systems concerned with regulation of blood pressure.

Wiesenfeld et al. (1970) studied this question. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency in Black men was associated with elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressures, pulse rates, and serum creatinine compared to controls.
