Abstract

To determine the association between albuminuria and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Participants of the Singapore Chinese Eye study were recruited and underwent standardised ocular and systemic examinations. Albuminuria was determined using urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR, mg/g) based on random spot urinary albumin and creatinine measurements. POAG was defined using the International Society of Geographic and Epidemiological Ophthalmology classification. Multivariable logistic regression with generalised estimating equation model was used to evaluate the association between albuminuria and POAG, while accounting for correlation between eyes. A total of 3009 Chinese adults (5963 eyes), aged 40-80 years, were included in this study, of which, 52 subjects (75 eyes) had POAG. Higher UACR (per 50 mg/g increase) was independently associated with POAG (OR=1.04, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.07, p=0.003) following adjustment for age, gender, intraocular pressure, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidaemia, hypertension, anti-hypertensive medication, history of cardiovascular disease, current smoking status, alcohol intake, body mass index and estimated glomerular filtration rate. Further stratification revealed that individuals with macroalb...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
