Background: Pakistani population is at higher risk of developing hypertensive complications a younger age, resulting from undiagnosed and untreated hypertension (HTN).High cost medical care barrier to early detection assessment end organ damage as well physicians are disinclined adopt more aggressive therapeutic management improve blood pressure control.A cross sectional study was planned determine the effect high on renal function tests in random aged 25-50 year, initial diagnosis hypertension.Methods: The conducted total 276 subjects; 201selected five general practitioners clinics Karachi were classified into pre hypertensive, stages I II basis 7th JNC report.Two BP readings taken half an hour apart.A sample drawn for measurement serum urea, creatinine dipstick test done check protein urine.The results compared with 75 control, normotensive subjects.The percentage, mean Standard deviation computed.ANOVA performed compare four groups LSD applied pair-wise group.Pearson's correlation find out association hypertension.Results: urea levels normal side HTN stages-I (39.91±8.51 1.72±0.54 stage-I 44.51±9.93 1.91±0.88 stage-II respectively).The frequency proteinuria also these groups, indicating declining patients control prehypertension groups.Conclusion: Subjects diagnosed stage showed evidence subclinical damage, along presence time diagnosis.
