Implication
UAE may influence ambulatory BP even without albuminuria in diabetes; leaves open causal links and prospective validation of sex differences.
Structured PICO
P
Population
66 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients with urinary albumin excretion (UAE) < 20 micrograms/min and 53 healthy subjects
O
Outcome
24-h ambulatory blood pressure (AMBP)surrogate
Even in normoalbuminuric IDDM patients, urinary albumin excretion influences ambulatory blood pressure, and the normal sex differences in diastolic BP are attenuated.
