BMI is associated with the development of chronic kidney diseases in hypertensive patients with normal renal function
Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship of BMI and waist circumference with the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: A total of 12 672 hypertensive patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at least 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 from the renal sub-study of the China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial (CSPPT) were included. The primary outcome was the development of CKD, defined as a decrease in eGFR of at least 30% and to a level of less than 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 at the exit visit, or end-stage renal disease. A secondary outcome was rapid renal function decline, defined as ...
