TL;DR
The age-race joint effect is consistent with the hypothesis that a combined effect of lack of treatment and aging on the process that leads to E SRD may play an important role in the excess risk for ESRD among blacks.
Abstract
Analysis of national data from the United States Renal Data System for 1988 revealed an important joint effect of age and race in determining the higher risk of ESRD for blacks as compared with whites. For adults, both hypertension and diabetes made important contributions to the combined effect of age and race. In contrast, glomerulonephritis was not considered to be an important contributor to this joint effect. The combined effect of gender and race was weaker than that of age and race; however, among blacks, differences in the proportions of ESRD attributed to hypertension and diabetes across gender were observed. The age-race joint effect is consistent with the hypothesis that a combined effect of lack of treatment and aging on the process that leads to ESRD may play an important role in the excess risk for ESRD among blacks.

After adjusting rates of hypertensive ESRD for age, sex, and differences in the prevalence of hypertension by race, it is found black:white (B:W) relative risk still to be increased, providing further support for the possibility that there are racial differences inThe susceptibility to renal damage from elevated BP, which may explain increased risk for hypertensiveESRD in blacks.

A case-control study of 325 men ages 30-69 who were diagnosed with end-stage renal disease between 1976 and 1984, and resided in four urban areas of Michigan in 1984, found risk of ESRD was significantly related to phenacetin or acetaminophen consumption and regular occupational exposures to solvents.

In most patients with essential hypertension and serum creatinine levels below 300 mumol/l, renal function could be maintained or improved when antihypertensive treatment was instituted, whereas progression of the renal damage was seen in those with serum creatInine levels above 300 muml/l in spite of antihyertensive treatment with 3 or more drugs.
