Risk Factors
- APOL1 gene
- This gene has been identified to accelerate the progression of renal disease in African- American hypertensive patients.
- The Framingham heart study showed that a combination of hypertension with mild reduction in glomerular filtration rate was a risk factor for development of chronic renal insufficiency.
- Diabetes, smoking, obesity and high levels of low density lipoproteins also contribute to the progression of renal damage secondary to hypertension.
