Association of mental health-related patient reported outcomes with blood pressure in adults and children with primary proteinuric glomerulopathies

CONCLUSION: Chronically poor psychosocial patient-reported outcomes may be significantly associated with higher BP and hypertension in adults and children with primary proteinuric glomerulopathies. This interaction appears strong in children but should be interpreted with caution, as multiple confounders related to glomerular disease may influence both mental health and BP independently. That said, access to mental health resources may help control BP, and proper disease and BP management may improve overall mental health.PMID:38512380 | DOI:10.1007/s40620-024-01919-6
