Risk Factors
- High systolic blood pressure is a very strong risk factor for the development of hypertensive nephrosclerosis.
- African Americans are more likely to develop hypertensive nephropathy. Firstly, a number of causes had been suggested:
- Higher prevalence and severity of hypertension
- Lower socioeconomic status
- Poor healthcare accessibility.
- However, Ethnic differences related to hypertensive nephropathy remained after adjusting age, sex, and prevalence of hypertension among ethnic groups, suggesting the presence of genetic predisposition in this population.[1]
- Genetic susceptibility
- Non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 gene (MYH9), which regulates the function of podocyte cytoskeleton, is associated with hypertensive ESRD in African Americans.[2]
- Solidified glomerulosclerosis secondary to hypertension in African American is associated with apolipoprotein L1 gene (APOL1)[3]
- Chromogranin A gene variants, which block secretion of catecholamine, is also contributed to hypertensive ESRD in African Americans.[4]
- The Framingham heart study showed that a combination of hypertension with a mild reduction in glomerular filtration rate increases the risk of developing chronic renal failure.
- Diabetes, smoking, obesity and high levels of low density lipoproteins also accelerates the progression of renal damage secondary to hypertension.
