Mild RI in the community is common and is associated with a high prevalence of CVD, and the association of RI with risk for adverse outcomes is strongly related to coexisting CVD and CVD risk factors.

The slightly lower rate of development of hypercreatininemia and the higher rate of improvement in stepped-care compared with referred-care participants is consistent with the belief that aggressive treatment of hypertension may reduce renal damage and the associated increased risk of death.

Mean serum creatinine values are higher in men, non-Hispanic blacks, and older persons and are lower in Mexican-Americans, and it is not clear to what extent the variability by sex, age, and age reflects normal physiological differences rather than the presence of kidney disease.

The results show that baseline elevation in serum creat inine and a reduction in estimated creatinine clearance are powerful predictors of cardiovascular events and death and that the association of acetylsalicylic acid with intensive antihypertensive therapy offers additional benefit in hypertensive patients with reduced renal function.
