The association between family history of hypertension and diabetic kidney disease in patients with diabetes: a cross-sectional study
In this cross-sectional study, a history of familial hypertension was significantly associated with higher odds of DKD in individuals with T2D. Given the cross-sectional design, causality and temporal direction cannot be established; prospective studies are needed to determine whether familial hypertension contributes to DKD development and progression.
