FIGURE 5:

Subjects 18–70 years old showing for African Americans and whites the linear relationships between MAP and V_glom and MAP and the log 2 of percent glomerulosclerosis. The V_glom of African Americans increased 0.41 μm³ × 106 for a 10 mmHg increase in MAP (P < 0.001) compared with 0.23 μm³ × 106 for whites (P = 0.43), the MAP-race interaction was not significant, P = 0.15. The relationship between the log 2 of percent glomerulosclerosis and MAP showed that for any level of MAP, glomerulosclerosis was similar in the two races, P = 0.16.
