Urinary Albumin Excretion Rate Is Associated With Increased Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Normoalbuminuric Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Abstract: OBJECTIVE -To evaluate the 24-h blood pressure profile in normoalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-A cross-sectional study was conducted in 90 type 2 diabetic patients with a urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) Ͻ20 g/min on two occasions, 6 months apart (immunoturbidimetry). Patients underwent clinical and laboratory evaluations. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and echocardiograms were also performed.RESULTS -UAER was found to correlate positively with systolic doctor's off… Show more

“…These data were confirmed in a prospective study carried out in normoalbuminuric Type 1 DM patients, in which those patients who progressed to microalbuminuria had higher daytime levels of diastolic BP at the initial assessment 39 . Similar results were identified in a cross-section study performed in normoalbuminuric Type 2 DM patients 13 . The 24-hour BP means and the pulse pressures showed positive and significant correlations with the UAE measurement in a sample of 90 Brazilian patients 13 .…”

“…SAH is prevalent in patients with Type 2 DM, and is currently present in 30% of cases at the time of DM diagnosis and in up to 73% during the clinical course 1,11 . However, pressure homeostasis modifications can occur in DM patients with no evidence of renal disease 12,13 .…”

“…Although the crosssectional design did not allow any firm conclusions regarding causality, we hypothesised that PP could be a risk factor for the progression of albuminuria in this patient group. Subsequently, several studies have associated an elevated PP with both micro- [3,5] and macrovascular [6][7][8] complications in diabetic patients.…”

“…An elevated pulse pressure (PP) is strongly associated with micro- [1][2][3][4][5] as well as macrovascular [1,[6][7][8] complications in type 2 diabetic patients. In a large observational study including 954 elderly type 2 diabetic patients [9], ambulatory PP was a strong and independent predictor of progression of nephropathy during a 2 year follow-up period.…”
