Factors contributing to blood pressure levels in chronic glomerulonephritis: an analysis of 105 biopsied patients.
Clinical data from 105 biopsied cases with chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) were analyzed to determine factors contributing to blood pressure (BP) levels. Significant univariate correlations were found between BP and 11 parameters such as age, body mass index, pathological subgroup of CGN and creatinine clearance (Ccr). These were used as independent variables in multiple regression analysis, where five factors including Ccr and subgroups of CGN were significantly associated with BP. The results indicate that glomerular filtration and glomerular pathology contribute independently to BP levels in CGN.
