Key result
Albuminuria and microalbuminuria were independent of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome components in never-treated, non-diabetic hypertensive men.
Cross-Sectional (n=271)
In never-treated, non-diabetic hypertensive men, microalbuminuria is driven by higher blood pressure rather than insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome.

Supports BP-focused evaluation of microalbuminuria in untreated non-diabetic hypertension; leaves open metabolic contributions in prospective cohorts.
Pedrinelli et al. (2003) conducted a cross-sectional in essential hypertension (n=271). Albuminuria and microalbuminuria vs. Lower urine albumin levels was evaluated on Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) of insulin resistance and related metabolic abnormalities. Albuminuria and microalbuminuria were independent of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome components in never-treated, non-diabetic hypertensive men.
