Prevalence, Characteristics and Predictive Factors of Microalbuminuria in Resistant Systemic Arterial Hypertension

Abstract: The present cross-sectional observational study was made in family medicine offices of Timi� County, Romania. The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of urinary microalbumin excretion (MAU) in resistant systemic arterial hypertension (RH), to analyze patients� biochemical and clinical characteristics, and the predictive factors for MAU. From a total number of 347 patients, MAU was detected in 76 cases (21.9%). The microalbuminuria positive patients were older, with significant higher office syst… Show more

“…The high prevalence of a non-dipper pattern was also influenced by the presence of diabetes, advanced age and association of other risk factors as dyslipidaemia. The elevated BP levels and the absence of the physiological nocturnal BP dipping has high predictive values for organ damage and worse prognosis [15]. Many trials confirm the observation that the control rate of hypertensive patients with CKD is worst during night and better during daytime [16][17].…”

“…One of the most important causes of worldwide morbidity and mortality is systemic arterial hypertension (SAH), which is responsible for the reduction of life expectancy and quality of life (GADAU et al, 2018). Its association with diabetes mellitus (DM) is frequent, consistently increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) at any stage of hypertension, which may lead to other comorbidities like dyslipidemia, thus configuring a condition named metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) (ROLIM et al, 2018).…”

“…There are few Romanian studies [10][11][12] on essential arterial hypertension associating CKD and about hypertension mediated organ damage (HMOD) in CKD patients. As the epidemiology and characteristics of hypertension with CKD differs, it is important to have national studies to evaluate the local situation and to elaborate on this basis prevention, diagnosis and therapy strategies [13,14]. The aim of the present study was to evaluate in hypertension with CKD (1) the induced vascular damage, evaluated with carotid intima-media thickness, carotid plaques and ankle brachial index (ABI); (2) the heart response to hypertension, respectively the left ventricular hypertrophy and (3) to establish the correlation between these organ damage, hypertension, CKD and associated clinical and biochemical cardiovascular risk factors.…”
