Key result
Non-diabetic hypertension was associated with a significant increase in urine microalbumin levels compared to healthy controls, which correlated positively with LDL-c.
Why the study?
Are urine microalbumin levels elevated in non-diabetic hypertensive patients compared to healthy controls?
Case-Control (n=200)
Are urine microalbumin levels elevated in non-diabetic hypertensive patients compared to healthy controls?
Microalbuminuria is significantly elevated in non-diabetic hypertensive patients and correlates with LDL-c, highlighting its potential as an early marker for cardiovascular and renal risk.

May support microalbuminuria screening in non-diabetic hypertension; leaves open prospective validation for risk stratification.
P et al. (2017) conducted a case-control in Non-diabetic hypertension (n=200). Non-diabetic hypertension vs. Healthy individuals was evaluated on Urine microalbumin levels. Non-diabetic hypertension was associated with a significant increase in urine microalbumin levels compared to healthy controls, which correlated positively with LDL-c.
