Final answer:
AGN is more commonly associated with hypertension.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hypertension is more commonly associated with Acute Glomerulonephritis (AGN). AGN is an inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidneys, which can lead to increased blood pressure. The inflammation causes damage to the kidney's filtering function, leading to fluid retention and an increase in blood pressure.
Hyper tension can occur due to several factors in AGN, including:
- The release of chemicals and hormones that constrict blood vessels, increasing blood pressure.
- Fluid retention due to impaired kidney function, which also increases blood pressure.
- The activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which regulates blood pressure, leading to increased blood pressure.
