Why the study?
Do renal function and microalbuminuria independently predict and interact to increase cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients?
Do renal function and microalbuminuria independently predict and interact to increase cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients?
Both renal function and microalbuminuria provide independent and interacting prognostic information for cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients, supporting their simultaneous inclusion in global risk assessment.

Microalbuminuria-GFR interaction may refine CV risk assessment in hypertension; hypothesis-generating, requiring prospective validation before practice change.
Färbom et al. (2008) studied this question.
