Does microalbuminuria predict cardiovascular disease events in patients with diabetes, hypertension, or the general population?
Does microalbuminuria predict cardiovascular disease events in patients with diabetes, hypertension, or the general population?
This review highlights the role of microalbuminuria as a predictor of cardiovascular disease events.
May support microalbuminuria for cardiovascular risk stratification; leaves open whether targeted reduction improves outcomes.
Purpose of reviewThis review describes recently published studies evaluating the association between microalbuminuria and the development of cardiovascular disease events either in the presence of diabetes or hypertension, or in the population as a whole.
