Association of common medical comorbidities with early renal damage in the Chinese tropics with essential hypertension
Abstract Background Urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) is an important marker of early renal damage (ERD) caused by hypertension. Recent studies showed that blood pressure was a significant inverse association with temperature and climate. The purposes of our study were sought to explore the asso...

Methods From January 2018 to December 2019, we assessed UACR in a total of 599 hypertensive Chinese Hainan patients. We defined ERD as a UACR between 30 mg/g and 300 mg/g. We analysed differences between qualitative variables using the chi-squared (χ2) test. We calculated correlations between UACR and age, hypertension duration (HD), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) using the Spearman’s rho test. To determine the odds ratio (OR), we evaluated binary logistic regression models. Results Among the 599 patients, 281 (46.9%) were found to have ERD. ERD and factors related to sex, body mass index (BMI), and SBP did not differ significantly (all, p>0.05). Our main findings showed that age, HD, and DBP were associated with ERD (p<0.01, respectively). Furthermore, age ≥ 65 years, HD ≥10 years, DBP ≥ 90 mmHg, SBP ≥ 160 mmHg, and diabetes differed significantly according to ERD status (p < 0.05, respectively). In multivariate analysis using stepwise regression, age (OR = 1.468), DBP (OR = 1.853), and diabetes (OR = 2.031) were significant independent predictors of ERD.
