Comparison of microalbuminuria w ith hs-CRP and low density lipoprotein levels in nondiabetic, nonhypertensive myocardial infarction patients

Abstract: Introduction:Microalbuminuria (MA), defined as urine albumin to urine creatinine ratio (UACR) of 30 to 300 mg/G of creatinine, is an established risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and for end-stage renal disease in individuals with an adverse cardiovascular risk profile such as those with hypertension or/and diabetes mellitus.Materials and Methods:Thirty five patients were included in the study and equal number of age- and sex-matched controls were also included. 2 ml of venous blood was co… Show more

“… 29 31 32 However, how the hsCRP is related to microalbuminuria is not clear. Some studies suggest that this may be the result of inflammation rather than a predictive risk factor for microalbuminuria, 29 while others hypothesize that hsCRP may play a role in the induction of microalbuminuria, 32 suggesting that inflammation may deteriorate endothelial dysfunction.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that triglyceride ( 20 , 30 ) and hs-CRP ( 7 , 16 ) levels are correlated with the structure and function of blood vessels and increased microalbuminuria. Atherosclerosis is a process that involves intravascular development of a chronic inflammatory condition that results from local interactions between modified lipoproteins, inflammatory cells, and cytokines within the walls of veins and arteries ( 7 , 31 ). Our results, therefore, suggest that chronic inflammatory reactions and lipid disturbances in circulation may contribute to microangiopathy in patients with epilepsy.…”

“…Several studies show that microalbuminuria leads to endothelial dysfunction in renal vessels and increases the risk for atherosclerosis-related renal microangiopathy ( 7 , 16 , 24 , 25 ). In type 1 diabetes, which is associated with high cardiovascular complications, microalbuminuria is found to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease ( 26 ).…”
