Key result
T2DM is linked to ~95% higher microalbuminuria prevalence in hypertensive patients.
Population
150 persons. Excluded: IDDM patients and hypertensives on ACEI/ARBs.

May support enhanced microalbuminuria screening in diabetic hypertensives; leaves open causal links and intervention effects in prospective studies.

The prevalence of microalbuminuria, an early marker of renal injury and cardiovascular risk, is significantly higher in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes compared to non-diabetic hypertensives.
Vani et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) and Hypertension (n=150). NIDDM with Hypertension vs. Non-diabetic Hypertension was evaluated on Prevalence of microalbuminuria (>30 mg/day) (p=<0.005). Patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and hypertension had a significantly higher prevalence of microalbuminuria (74%) compared to non-diabetic hypertensive patients (38%).
