Microalbuminuria and Cardiovascular Disease

Microalbuminuria and cardiovascular disease.

To reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD), management strategies are increasingly focusing on preventive measures following early detection of markers of atherosclerosis. This review focuses on microalbuminuria, which is gaining recognition as a simple marker of an atherogenic milieu. Prospective and epidemiologic studies have found that microalbuminuria is predictive, independently ...

Microalbuminuria: Marker or Maker of Cardiovascular Disease

Advancing age is associated with albuminuria and vascular changes. This review will explore the putative links between the two. Vascular ageing involves endothelial dysfunction as well as increased arterial diameter, wall thickness and stiffness, ultimately leading to arterial sclerosis. This process is accelerated by a defective vascular repair process. Endothelial dysfunction is likely to be ...
