Abstract
The association between the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2, rs671) genotypes and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was investigated in Japanese hypertensive patients with/without coronary artery disease or with ischemic heart failure (HF), and age/sex-matched normotensive healthy controls. The eGFRs were significantly lower in the HF subjects with the ALDH2 *2/*2 genotype than in those with the other genotypes. Multiple regression analyses adjusted by the potentially confounding factors showed the *2/*2 genotype to be significantly associated with the decreased eGFR, compared to the *1/*1 genotype (β = 31.99 ml min1 per 1.73 m2, P < 0.01).Entities:
