“…In Uganda, a study was conducted among the patients attended hypertension clinic of the medical outpatients' department of Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH), by Peter Kangwagye et al They found that the prevalence of microalbuminuria was 57.5% in patients with various stages of hypertensive retinopathy. 16 Nelly N Kabedi and his team studied the association of hypertensive retinopathy with cardiovascular disease, renal disorders and cerebrovascular disease in Congolese patients. In their study hypertensive retinopathy was found in 83.6% of the patients.…”

BACKGROUND Systemic hypertension is one of the common problems which is often asymptomatic. Because of this, often we fail to detect hypertension earlier. Purpose of this study is to find out the prevalence of hypertensive retinopathy at the time of diagnosis. We wanted to determine the prevalence of retinopathy in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients. METHODS Among the patients who attended ophthalmology outpatient department, the prevalence of hypertensive retinopathy was studied in 100 newly diagnosed hypertensive patients. The results were analysed using MS excel sheet. RESULTS This study shows that 8% of newly diagnosed hypertensive patients had grade I hypertensive retinopathy, 3% had grade II hypertensive retinopathy, and 1% had grade III hypertensive retinopathy. In our study, none of the newly diagnosed hypertensive patients were found to have grade IV hypertensive retinopathy.

“…Showed that micro albuminuria occurs in AMI and predicts early mortality 15 .Moreover, MA is independently associated with Cvd morbidity, after adjusting the known risk factors of the prevalence of CAD in men and women. The close relationship between MA and Coronary disease is greatly explained by the shared pathogen tic mechanisms of endothelial days function, systemic inflammation and vascular injury 16 ; it is reasonable to assume that such a relationship should exist regardless of the simultaneous presence or absence of diabetes.…”

Background: There is a relative paucity of data on the link between urine micro albumin and IHD in non-diabetics as well as non-hypertensive’s compared to diabetics. This study was meant to look for the association between urine micro albumin and in cardiac morbidity and mortality among non-diabetic and non-hypertensive’s, which may further provide insight to the early diagnosis of micro albuminuria and its potential for predicting cardiac morbidity and thus needed inputs for better clinical management. Aims and objectives: To assess the relationship between micro albuminuria and proven risk factors and markers of cardiovascular disease in non-diabetic & non-hyper extensive ischaemic heart disease patients. Materials and methods: Among the 200 patients which were taken in the study, 141 (69.8%) were males and the rest29.2%were females. 34.5% each were from the age of 41-50 years and51-60 years respectively. Only 26 (13.0%) patients were from the age group of morethan60years. Results: The mean age of patients was 50.66 with a SDof 9.33. Majority of males were from the age group of 41-50 years (38.3%), while 42.4% of females were from the age group of 51-60 years. Mean age of male patients was found to be 49.41±9.16,while female patients was of 52.44±9.57.

Hypertension is a major public health problem all over the world. The incidence of hypertension is increasing year after year and the prevalence of hypertension is increasing day by day due to increased life expectancy and aging population and their sedentary lifestyle. Hypertension is known to cause microvascular changes and increased cardiovascular risk from it. Microalbuminuria possibly reflects a state of increased renal endothelial permeability and is an easily measured marker of rather diffuse endothelial dysfunction, low grade inflammation and vascular disease burden2. Microalbuminuria has been determined as an important prognostic indicator and has been reported to be associated with increased cardiovascular risk and progressive renal damage. Reliable data on the prevalence of microalbuminuria in the general population and its association with cardiovascular risk factors is limited. Till now, there is little data available regarding screening and early treatment of hypertensive patients with microalbuminuria, as in the case of microalbuminuric non diabetic subjects. With these perspective this cross sectional study of microalbuminuria in non-diabetic hypertensive patients was undertaken to study prevalence of microalbuminuria in Non Diabetic hypertensive patients. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of microalbuminuria in non-diabetic hypertensive patients and to correlate the presence of microalbuminuria with the patients of different clinical profiles. Materials and Methods: This was observational, cross sectional study of Patients diagnosed with hypertension either admitted in ward or attending OPD of Medical College and Tertiary Care Centre. Urine microalbumin creatinine ratio was used for estimation of microalbuminuria. Conclusion: It was proved that microalbuminuria prevalence was directly proportional to the duration of hypertension, the stage of hypertension. Prevalence of microalbuminria was low in ACE inhibitor and ARB treated hypertensive patients.
