Key Points

To evaluate the relationship between the prognostic nutritional index and microalbuminuria in patients diagnosed with primary hypertension.
Conducted a prospective cross-sectional study enrolling 151 patients aged 18–65 years with primary hypertension.
Categorized participants based on spot urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) into normoalbuminuria (ACR < 30 mg/g) and microalbuminuria (ACR 30–300 mg/g) groups.
Calculated the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) using serum albumin and total lymphocyte count, alongside assessments of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and clinical demographics.
Age and GFR showed no statistically significant differences between the normoalbuminuria and microalbuminuria groups (p=0.755 and p=0.714, respectively).
The proportion of female participants was significantly higher in the microalbuminuria group (p=0.025).
Patients with microalbuminuria demonstrated significantly lower serum albumin levels, lymphocyte counts, and PNI values, alongside elevated ACR values (all p < 0.05).
