  • Title: Hypertension, race, and glomeruli: more than simply a numbers game.
    Author: Haas M.
    Journal: Kidney Int; 2006 Feb; 69(4):640-2. PubMed ID: 16518324.
    Abstract:
    Incidences of hypertension and hypertension-related renal failure are considerably higher in African-Americans than in white Americans. One explanation offered for this is that African-Americans have a higher incidence of low birth weight, the latter associated with lower numbers of glomeruli. However, although studies show a clear association between hypertension and glomerular number in whites, the situation in African-Americans appears more complex.
