Elevated urinary albumin excretion is associated with impaired arterial dilatory capacity in clinically healthy subjects.
BACKGROUND Elevated urinary albumin excretion (UAE) predicts atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. It is hypothesized that elevated UAE is associated with a generalized vascular dysfunction. This study tested this hypothesis for conduit arteries. METHODS AND RESULTS Clinically healthy subjects were selected: 19 with UAE >90th percentile in the background population (6.6 microgram/min<UAE<15...
متن کاملEndothelial haemostatic factors are associated with progression of urinary albumin excretion in clinically healthy subjects: a 4-year prospective study.
A slightly elevated urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), above 5-10 microgram/min, is a predictor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Endothelial dysfunction is an important early feature of atherosclerosis. The plasma concentration of von Willebrand factor (vWF), a potential marker of endothelial dysfunction, predicts a subsequent increase of UAER in patients with diabetes. The aim of...
متن کاملAmbulatory blood pressure and urinary albumin excretion in clinically healthy subjects.
A slightly elevated urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) is a predictor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The mechanism is unknown, but moderate office blood pressure elevation has been demonstrated as part of a clustering of known atherosclerotic risk factors in subjects with elevated UAER. Because 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure is a superior predictor of hypertensive target organ...
متن کاملDecrease in urinary albumin excretion associated with the normalization of nocturnal blood pressure in hypertensive subjects.
Previous results have indicated that valsartan administration at bedtime as opposed to on wakening improves the diurnal/nocturnal ratio of blood pressure without loss in efficacy and therapeutic coverage. We hypothesized that increasing this ratio could reduce microalbuminuria. We conducted a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint trial on 200 previously untreated nonproteinuric ...
متن کاملnon-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 gene (myh9) polymorphism (rs4821481) is associated with urinary albumin excretion in iranian diabetic patients
conclusions although we found an association between myh9 gene polymorphism and urinary albumin excretion, the results did not show a significant association between myh9 polymorphism (rs4821481) and risk of dn in iranian diabetic patients. background myosin heavy chain 9 (myh9) gene polymorphisms have been implicated in different types of renal disease, as well as in nephropathy attributed to ...
