Abstract 350: Renal Dysfunction Associated With Incident Hypertension According to Blood Pressure Categories in a Non-hypertensive Population in the Suita Study: An Urban Cohort Study

Background and purpose: No studies have examined the influence of decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) on incident hypertension (HT) according to blood pressure (BP) categories among a healthy cohort. We assessed the relationships between renal dysfunction and incident HT according to BP categories in a Japanese urban cohort.
