Kidney and cardiovascular risk in primary hypertension

Figure 1 Cardiac organ damage is associated with subclinical renal abnormalities. Left ventricular mass increases along with changes in albuminuria (A) and reduction of eGFR (B) in patients with primary hypertension (n = 400). Modified from Leoncini et al[11]. LVMI: Left ventricular mass index; eGFR: Estimated glomerular filtration rate; UACR: Urine albumin to creatinine ratio.
