Article Synopsis
- SNPs linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) show different impacts on urinary uromodulin levels in Black and White populations, with unknown factors in African groups.
- Clinical studies involving young and middle-aged adults reveal that Black individuals have lower uromodulin levels and higher prevalence of CKD-risk SNPs compared to Whites.
- Findings highlight significant ethnic variations in genetic and clinical factors affecting uromodulin, suggesting the need for tailored approaches in kidney function research and medicine.
Large gaps persist in the diagnosis, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension globally. Standardized treatment protocols (STPs) have been widely proposed to guide hypertension treatment, particularly in primary healthcare settings. However, there has been no review that quantifies the effects of hypertension STPs on blood pressure (BP) reduction and control.

May Measurement Month (MMM) is a global BP screening campaign, which aims to raise awareness of BP measurement and provide evidence to inform and influence related health policy.
Methods: This cross-sectional survey included individuals aged≥18 years recruited through opportunistic sampling at sites in 60 countries during MMM 2022.
