| الوصف: | A cohort of 227 untreated essential hypertensive patients from north-western Italy was studied in order to evaluate the prevalence of micro- and macroalbuminuria and their relationship with other cardiovascular risk factors. Albuminuria was evaluated as the albumin to creatinine ratio (Alb/Cr) in three non-consecutive first morning samples. The prevalence of microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria was 10% and 2.2%, respectively. Albuminuric patients showed higher blood pressure, serum creatinine, triglycerides and uric acid as well as a greater prevalence of retinopathy. Stepwise multiple regression analysis demonstrated that only a small part of variations in albuminuria was explained by changes in blood pressure. Duration of disease did not seem to influence microalbuminuria. The presence of hypertensive retinopathy was associated with greater albuminuria, longer duration of hypertension, and higher prevalence of major ECG changes, but not with higher blood pressure levels. Microalbuminuria, rather than a consequence of elevated blood pressure levels, seems to be a marker of a syndrome featuring, among other characteristics, essential hypertension. Furthermore, microalbuminuria must be considered as an independent cardiovascular risk factor. |
