Resumo:	Background: Hypertension is highly prevalent and constitutes a significant risk factor for Target Organ Damage (TOD), such as cardiac and renal lesions, thereby increasing morbidity and mortality. However, the magnitude of these complications among hospitalized patients remains underexplored in Brazil. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of TOD among hospitalized hypertensive patients and identify associated clinical factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 107 hypertensive inpatients at a university hospital in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Renal damage was assessed through Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), and cardiac damage through Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH). Sociodemographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected. Analyses included descriptive and bivariate statistics (p<0.05). Results: The mean age was 63.6±10.8 years; 53.3% were male and 44.9% self-identified as White. Reduced eGFR was observed in 73.8% of participants, and LVH in 38.3%. Overall, 35% presented both types of TOD, 53% only one, and 12% none. A reduced eGFR was associated with low educational attainment (p=0.004) and a history of prior nephropathy (p=0.022). LVH was more frequent among those with a history of myocardial infarction (p=0.002). Conclusion: Hospitalized hypertensive patients exhibited a high prevalence of TOD, especially renal involvement, underscoring the need for systematic screening and monitoring protocols to mitigate cardiovascular and renal complications.
