Microalbuminuria in Essential Hypertension
Introduction The detection of small amounts of urinary albumin excretion (UAE), a condition known as microalbuminuria, by using sensitive immunological methods was initially used in the evaluation and management of renal damage in diabetes. In the last few years, however, it has received increased attention as a prognostic marker for cardiovascular and/or renal risk in non-diabetic subjects [1–...
متن کاملMicroalbuminuria in essential hypertension.
The prevalence and significance of microalbuminuria is not well elucidated in patients with essential hypertension. In newly detected hypertension, its prevalence ranges between 23 and 37% and albuminuria is usually well correlated with the level of arterial pressure. Interestingly, albuminuria is enhanced in overweight hypertensive patients. Antihypertensive treatment has variable influence on...
متن کاملMicroalbuminuria in Essential Hypertension
Essential hypertension (HTN) usually clusters with other cardiovascular risk factors such as age, overweight, diabetes, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. The target organ damage (TOD) such as left ventricular hypertrophy, microalbuminuria (MA), acute coronary syndrome (ACS), stroke and cognitive dysfunction takes place early in course of hypertension. Though the prevalence of hypertension is...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic correlates of microalbuminuria in adult Nigerians with essential hypertension.
Microalbuminuria (MA) is a predictor of excess cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in non-diabetic hypertensive patients. This study evaluated the electrocardiographic correlates of MA in adult non-diabetic Nigerians with essential hypertension. Ninety-six newly diagnosed hypertensive patients who consented and met the inclusion criteria for the study were recruited. Ninety-six age- and gend...
متن کاملMicroalbuminuria as a marker of cardiac damage in essential hypertension.
A subclinical elevation in urinary albumin excretion (UAE) microalbuminuria is frequently seen in essential hypertension. The level of blood pressure appears to be an important factor in the development of microalbuminuria. Moreover there is some evidence to indicate that microalbuminuria may be an early marker of increased cardiovascular risk. Aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence o...
