23 Jul 2025 • An analysis of 7,882 patients shows renal trauma (rT) nearly doubles new-onset hypertension (HTN) risk.

HTN developed in 35% of 4,703 rT patients vs 21% of matched controls (HR 1.8).

Risk was highest after angioembolization (HR 3.4) or nephrectomy (HR 2.4). Older age, female sex, comorbidities, diabetes, and lifestyle factors further elevated risk.

Findings highlight the need for long-term BP monitoring and counseling in rT survivors, especially those undergoing invasive interventions.
