Association between Blood Pressure and Renal Progression in Korean Adults with Normal Renal Function.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Although hypertension (HTN) is a well-established major risk factor for renal progression in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), few studies investigating its role in renal deterioration in the general population with normal renal function (NRF) have been published. Here, we analyzed the correlation between blood pressure (BP) and impaired renal function (IRF) in Korean adults with NRF. METHODS:Data for the study were collected from the national health screening database of the Korean National Health Insurance Service. Patients whose baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m² or whose baseline urinalysis showed evidence of proteinuria were excluded. IRF was defined as an eGFR below 60 mL/min/1.73 m². We performed follow up for eGFR for 6 years from 2009 to 2015 and investigated IRF incidence according to baseline BP status. We categorized our study population into two groups of IRF and NRF according to eGFR level in 2015. RESULTS:During 6 years of follow-up examinations, IRF developed in 161,044 (2.86%) of 5,638,320 subjects. The IRF group was largely older, and the incidence was higher in females and patients with low income, HTN, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and obesity compared with the NRF group. Subjects whose systolic BP was more than 120 mmHg or whose diastolic BP was more than 70 mmHg had an increased risk of developing IRF compared with subjects with lower BP (odds ratio [OR], 1.037; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.014-1.061 vs. OR, 1.021; 95% CI, 1.004-1.038). CONCLUSION:BP played a major role in renal progression in the general population with NRF. Strict BP control may help prevent CKD in the general population.

Project description:Background/objectivesDue to the high costs and excess mortality associated with multimorbidity, there is a need to develop approaches for delaying its progression. High blood pressure (BP) is a common chronic condition and a risk factor for many additional chronic conditions, making it an ideal target for intervention. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the association between the level of sustained BP control and the progression of multimorbidity.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingAntihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial (ALLHAT) linked to Medicare claims.ParticipantsA total of 6,591 ALLHAT participants with Medicare who had systolic BP (SBP) measurements at eight or more study visits.MeasurementsSBP control was categorized as lower than 140 mm Hg at less than 50%, 50% to less than 75%, 75% to less than 100%, and 100% of visits. Multimorbidity progression was defined by the number of incident chronic conditions, including arthritis, asthma, atrial fibrillation, cancer, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary heart disease, dementia, depression, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, hyperlipidemia, osteoporosis, and stroke. Recurrent event survival analysis was used to calculate rate ratios (RRs) for the association of sustained SBP control with progression of multimorbidity.ResultsRates of incident conditions per 10 person-years (95% CIs) were 5.2 (5.1-5.4), 4.7 (4.5-4.8), 4.4 (4.2-4.5), and 4.0 (3.8-4.2) for participants with SBP control at less than 50%, 50% to less than 75%, 75% to less than 100%, and 100% of visits, respectively, over a median follow-up of 9.0 years. Compared with participants with SBP control at less than 50% of visits, adjusted RRs (95% CIs) for multimorbidity progression were 0.90 (0.86-0.95), 0.85 (0.81-0.89), and 0.77 (0.72-0.82) for those with SBP control at 50% to less than 75%, 75% to less than 100%, and 100% of visits, respectively.ConclusionsSustaining BP control may be an effective approach to slow multimorbidity progression and may reduce the population burden of multimorbidity.

Project description:BackgroundThe study aimed to estimate the incidence of and period of progression to stage 2 hypertension from normal blood pressure.MethodsWe selected a total of 21,172 normotensive individuals between 2003 and 2004 from the National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening and followed them up until 2015. The criteria for blood pressure were based on the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association 2017 guideline (normal BP: SBP < 120 and DBP < 80 mmHg, elevated BP: SBP 120-129 and DBP < 80 mmHg, stage 1 hypertension: SBP 130-139 or DBP 80-89 mmHg, stage 2 hypertension: SBP ≥140 or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg). We classified the participants into four courses (Course A: normal BP → elevated BP → stage 1 hypertension→ stage 2 hypertension, Course B: normal BP → elevated BP → stage 2 hypertension, Course C: normal BP → stage 1 hypertension → stage 2 hypertension, Course D: normal BP → stage 2 hypertension) according to their progression from normal blood pressure to stage 2 hypertension.ResultsDuring the median 12.23 years of follow-up period, 52.8% (n= 11,168) and 23.6% (n=5004) of the participants had stage 1 and stage 2 hypertension, respectively. In particular, over 60 years old had a 2.8-fold higher incidence of stage 2 hypertension than 40-49 years old. After the follow-up period, 77.5% (n=3879) of participants with stage 2 hypertension were found to be course C (n= 2378) and D (n=1501). After the follow-up period, 77.5% (n=3879) of participants with stage 2 hypertension were found to be course C (n= 2378) and D (n=1501). The mean years of progression from normal blood pressure to stage 2 hypertension were 8.7±2.6 years (course A), 6.1±2.9 years (course B), 7.5±2.8 years (course C) and 3.2±2.0 years, respectively.ConclusionsThis study found that the incidence of hypertension is associated with the progression at each stage. We suggest that the strategies necessary to prevent progression to stage 2 hypertension need to be set differently for each target course.

Project description:BackgroundDyslipidemia is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recently, atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) has been proposed as a novel predictive marker for CVD, and few cross sectional studies have demonstrated a relationship between AIP and coronary artery disease. The present study investigated the association between AIP and the progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in Korean adults without CVD.MethodsA total of 1124 participants who had undergone CAC measurement at least twice by multi-detector computed tomography (CT) at a health check-up center were enrolled. Their anthropometric measurements and various cardiovascular risk factors were assessed. AIP was defined as the base 10 logarithm of the ratio of the concentration of triglyceride (TG) to high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C). CAC progression was defined as either incident CAC in a CAC-free population at baseline, or an increase of ≥2.5 units between the square roots of the baseline and follow-up coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) in subjects with detectable CAC at baseline.ResultsCAC progression was observed in 290 subjects (25.8%) during the mean follow-up of 4.2 years. All subjects were stratified into three groups according to AIP. There were significant differences in cardiovascular parameters among groups at baseline. The follow-up CAC and the incidence of CAC progression increased gradually with rising AIP tertiles. In logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio for CAC progression was 2.27 when comparing the highest to the lowest tertile of AIP (95% CI: 1.61-3.19; P for trend < 0.01). However, this association was attenuated after adjustment for multiple risk factors (P for trend = 0.67).ConclusionsThere is a significant correlation between AIP and the progression of CAC in subjects without CVD. Although AIP was not an independent predictor of CAC progression, AIP should be considered when estimating the current as well as future CVD risk, along with other traditional risk factors.
