Comparison of eGFR and TKV between normal and high blood pressure groups in young adults (≤35 years)

	Normotensive group	Hypertensive group	P value
N	36	27
Initial BPa
Systolic (mmHg)	117.9 ± 15.1	148.1 ± 14.2	<0.0001
Diastolic (mmHg)	68.5 ± 6.9	85.9 ± 13.7	0.0001
Post-Tx BPb
Systolic (mmHg)	115.8 ± 14.4	128.4 ± 12.9	0.0030
Diastolic (mmHg)	70.5 ± 11.6	78.4 ± 6.5	0.0066
eGFR (ml/min/1.73 m2)	113.6 ± 42.5	86.6 ± 24.2	0.0044
N	10	12
TKV (ml)	826.3 ± 319.2	1713.2 ± 675.6	0.0011

Data are the mean ± SD. P values were calculated by Student’s t test

^aInitial BP is blood pressure without anti-hypertensive treatment in hypertensive group and blood pressure at initial visit in normotensive group

^bPost-Tx BP is blood pressure at the study time. In hypertensive group, all patients were receiving antihypertensive medication
