Microalbuminuria ties to higher BP without hyperinsulinemia links in untreated hypertension; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Cross-Sectional (n=92)
Grandi et al. (2000) conducted a cross-sectional in never-treated essential hypertension (n=92). Microalbuminuria vs. Normal urinary albumin excretion was evaluated on Relationship to hyperinsulinemia and family history of hypertension. In 92 never-treated essential hypertensives, microalbuminuria was associated with higher blood pressure but showed no significant relationship with hyperinsulinemia or family history of hypertension.
