This review summarizes the available evidence concerning the relationship between renal dysfunction and cardiovascular risk in non-diabetic patients. Based on numerous studies, there remains no more doubt today, that even minor renal dysfunction, as reflected by microalbuminuria and/or decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate, causes a dramatic increase in cardiovascular risk. Renal dysfu...

The term 'microalbuminuria' has been introduced to describe a measurable increase in urine albumin excretion, which is still within normal total urine protein excretion levels. Many data suggest that microalbuminuria is of value as an index of vascular damage, especially in hypertension and diabetes, and there is increasing information on its associations with traditional cardiovascular risk fa...
متن کاملSubclinical thyroid dysfunction as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
BACKGROUND There have been few large epidemiological studies examining the association between thyroid dysfunction and cardiovascular disease. In particular, it is uncertain if subclinical hypothyroidism is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. METHODS Serum thyrotropin and free thyroxine concentrations were measured in 2108 archived serum samples from a 1981 community health survey in Bu...
متن کاملMicroalbuminuria, cardiovascular, and renal risk in primary hypertension.
Microalbuminuria is defined as abnormal urinary excretion of albumin between 30 and 300 mg/d. It can be measured accurately by several widely available and sensitive methods. This abnormality can be found in 8 to 15% of nondiabetic patients with primary hypertension, although its prevalence varies greatly in the literature, likely due to differences in the methods used to detect it and to the c...
