Time from diagnosis until kidney replacement therapy based on blood pressure. The hypertension grade at diagnosis significantly affected the time to ESKD (p = 0.022) (A). However, there was no significant difference in the time until ESKD between the groups when both therapy and hypertension grades were compared (p = 0.092) (B). Time = Years after diagnostic kidney biopsy. ESKD = end-stage kidney disease. CS = corticosteroids
