“…Micro albuminuria has been extensively evaluated as a cardiac biomarker and in many other conditions. 1,3 A transient increase in the urinary albumin excretion rate has been noted in acute myocardial infarction. This has been attributed to the increased vascular permeability following the inflammatory process in infarction.…”

“…Glucose, creatinine and Tn I were measured three times a day during ICCU stay and peak values for each variable were considered. Acute insulin resistance was measured by means of homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) [5,[9][10][11][12]. (Table 1).…”

“…They also exhibited a worse in-hospital glycemic control (as inferred by peak glycemia) and a higher inflammatory activation (as indicated by higher values of hs-CRP, microalbuminuria). These factors are known to be associated with a worse prognosis at short term in STEMI patients [5,6,[10][11][12].…”
