D87 Predictive factors of abnormal urinary albumin excretion in diabetic hypertensive patients

Albumin excretion rate among patients with diabetic retinopathy

Antihypertensive Drug Use and Urinary Albumin Excretion in Non-diabetic Hypertensive Population

Arterial hypertension together with proteinuria is one of the most important factors associated with the progression of both diabetic and nondiabetic chronic kidney disease. Reduction of blood pressure is an efficient way of slowing the progression of this damage whereas antihypertensive drugs vary in their proteinuriaand microalbuminurialowering effects. The objective of the present study was ...

Effect of telmisartan-amlodipine combination at different doses on urinary albumin excretion in hypertensive diabetic patients with microalbuminuria.

BACKGROUND Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the telmisartan-amlodipine combination at different doses on urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) in hypertensive diabetic patients with microalbuminuria. METHODS After a 2-week placebo period, 300 hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria were treated with the 40 mg of telmisartan and 2.5 mg of amlodipine combi...

Correlates of abnormal urinary albumin excretion rates among primary care patients with essential hypertension.

BACKGROUND The excretion of small amounts of urinary protein, known as microalbuminuria, among patients with essential hypertension is associated with increased mortality from cardiovascular disease and, possibly, future renal decline. Correlates of microalbuminuria among primary care patients with essential hypertension, however, have not been well described. METHODS One hundred forty patien...

Visceral obesity is associated with higher urinary albumin excretion levels in normoalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients.

AIM To analyze the relationship between visceral obesity and urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER). METHODS A cross-sectional study of 73 normoalbuminuric (urinary albumin excretion rate < 20 microg/min) type 2 patients was performed. Patients were divided into two groups according to the median of UAER (7.5 microg/min). Office auscultatory blood pressure was measured in sitting position afte...
