Few studies have quantified the effect of hypertension on survival in the hemodialysis population. We report the effect of hypertension on 1-year survival in 649 hemodialysis patients (89% black). In univariate analysis, hypertension was associated with improved 1-year survival (relative risk [RR], 0.48; P = 0.002 compared with normotensive patients). This effect of hypertension was mostly caused by the associated antihypertensive treatment because untreated hypertensive patients had survival rates equal to normotensive patients (RR, 0.87; P = 0.70). On the other hand, treated hypertensive patients fared better than normotensive patients (RR, 0.41; P = 0.0006). This was also true in multivariate analysis, in which antihypertensive treatment was associated with reduced RR (RR, 0.55; P = 0.02) whereas the level of blood pressure per se was insignificant (RR, 0.99; P = 0.63 per 1 mm Hg increase in predialysis mean arterial pressure). Other factors of significance in multivariate analysis included age (RR, 1.03/y; P = 0.0004), serum albumin (RR, 0.38/g; P = 0.002), and diabetes mellitus (RR, 1.58; P = 0.06). Our study suggests that antihypertensive treatment has a favorable effect on survival in the hemodialysis population irrespective of the level of blood pressure control.
