Whether blood pressure (BP) classification using the 2017 American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) BP guideline can identify patients at high risk for proteinuria remains unknown. We examined the association of BP classification using the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline with the subsequent risk for the development of proteinuria. This is an observational cohort study using the JMDC Claims Database. We analyzed 914,786 participants with negative proteinuria assessed using urine dipstick tests at the initial health check-ups, not taking BP-lowering medications, and who underwent repeated urine dipstick tests within 4 years. Based on the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline, each participant was categorized as having normal BP (n = 487,020), elevated BP (n = 134,798), stage 1 hypertension (n = 197,618), or stage 2 hypertension (n = 95,350). The primary outcome was incident proteinuria. We investigated the association of BP based on the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline category with incident proteinuria using multivariable analyses. We used restricted cubic spline functions to identify the relation between systolic BP (SBP) and the risk for proteinuria. The median age was 45 years, and 59.4% were men. Multivariable analysis demonstrated that stage 1 hypertension (relative risk 1.14, 95% confidence interval 1.11 to 1.17), and stage 2 hypertension (relative risk 1.48, 95% confidence interval 1.43 to 1.52) were associated with a higher incidence of proteinuria than normal BP. The restricted cubic spline demonstrated that the risk for proteinuria increased linearly with SBP after SBP exceeded 120 mm Hg. Not only stage 2 hypertension but also stage 1 hypertension was associated with a greater risk for proteinuria, suggesting the importance of establishing the management strategy for stage 1 hypertension.
