Implication

May flag vascular resistance in untreated hypertension; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective validation before practice change.

Structured PICO

Is mild renal dysfunction associated with increased renal vascular resistance in patients with untreated primary hypertension?

Population

291 untreated patients with primary hypertension

Outcome

Association between mild renal dysfunction (creatinine clearance 60-89 mL/min or microalbuminuria) and renal resistive index (RI)surrogate

In untreated primary hypertension, increased renal vascular resistance is independently associated with a twofold higher risk of mild renal dysfunction.
