fewer competing cardiovascular events. Thus, although data indicate that we can alter the progression of normoto microalbuminuria, microto macroalbuminuria, and macroalbuminuria to end-stage renal disease/death, we still lack a prospective trial to test the hypothesis that medical management of microalbuminuria affects patient-centered events independent of blood pressure reduction. Lastly, rec...

Hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, or both have been described in patients with essential hypertension. Previous work from our laboratory has shown that in hypertensive patients with microalbuminuria, dyslipidemia and abnormal patterns in the diurnal variations of blood pressure are frequently associated. Whether hyperinsulinemia and microalbuminuria are directly related has not been determi...

Human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is a global pandemic with cases reporting from virtually every country and continues to be a common infection in developing country like India. Microalbuminuria is a manifestation of human immunodeficiency virus associated nephropathy. Therefore, microalbuminuria may be an early marker of human immunodeficiency virus ...

Methods Fifty patients (M=27, F=23) with type 1 diabetes and microalbuminuria who visited Yonsei University Severance Children’s Hospital were enrolled. In addition, ninety eight (M=31, F=67) type 1 diabetic patients without complication were enrolled for control. Microalbuminuria is defined that urinary albumin excretion rate is between 30 mg/24h and 300 mg/24h. HbA1c during 3 years (just befo...

Diabetic nephropathy has become the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease worldwide and is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk. The earliest clinical manifestation is microalbuminuria. Tight blood glucose and blood pressure control reduce the risk of microalbuminuria. Once microalbuminuria is present, the rate of progression to end stage kidney disease and cardiovascular diseas...

Microalbuminuria (or urinary albumin excretion rates (AER) above normal limits) is associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) particularly in diabetics. To determine the sensitivity and specificity of AER for CHD in a non-diabetic population we prospectively studied 115 consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography and 66 undergoing exercise electrocardiography (ECG). There was no rela...

Objective: Non – alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an imageological entity without elevation of liver enzymes. The purpose of this case – control study was to corelate microalbuminuria to Prediabetes with and without NAFLD. Method: This study was done at the Department of Medicine,DR. PSIMS & RF Chinaoutpally, A.P. India between Jan 2012 to Dec 2012. 200 patients (100 cases, 100 controls...

OBJECTIVE To examine the interactive relationship between diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) in type 2 diabetic patients and to elucidate the role of DR and microalbuminuria on the onset of macroalbuminuria and renal function decline. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We explored the effects of DR and microalbuminuria on the progression of DN from normoalbuminuria and low micro...

patients and methods this prospective cohort study was performed on 90 diabetic type 2 patients with microalbuminuria, who were selected according to the consecutive sample selection method during 6 years. data were collected through regular and systematic measurements of serum albumin as the response variable and body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the duration of diabetes,...
