Abstract

Microalbuminuria is a risk factor for renal and cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have established this important relationship in patients with diabetes or hypertension, yet few studies have shown this relationship in healthy subjects. The purpose of this study is to examine the prevalence and the risk factors of microalbuminuria in normoglycemic, normotensive adults. We examined the prevalence of microalbuminuria in the adults who voluntarily took part in a health examination program. As a cross-sectional study, we examined the risk factors of microalbuminuria in 4883 normoglycemic, normotensive healthy adults. The prevalence of microalbuminuria was 2.8% in the normoglycemic, normotensive group (n=4883), 10.1% in the hypertensive group (n=1250), 16.0% in the diabetes group (n=455) and 5.4% in the total subjects (n=6588). The systolic blood pressure, high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and insulin resistance were independently related with microalbuminuria on the logistic regression analysis. The odds ratio of microalbuminuria were 1.04 (1.02 - 1.05, 95% CI), 1.29 (1.10 - 1.51, 95% CI), and 1.83 (1.15 - 2.92, 95% CI), respectively. These finding suggest that the systolic blood pressure, hsCRP and insulin resistance a...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.
