In several studies, patients with CKD seemed to be at greater risk for dying from
cardiovascular disease (CVD) than reaching ESRD. The purpose of this study was to
compare incident ESRD rates with rates of total mortality, CVD death, and a CVD composite
(CVD mortality and CVD hospitalization) among participants who had hypertensive
nephrosclerosis and were enrolled in the African American Study of Kidney Disease and
Hypertension (AASK). The study period included the AASK trial phase (1996 through 2001) …
