Popis: Albuminuria is well established as a cardiovascular and renal risk factor. This study aimed to analyze factors associated with this condition in 267 hypertensive individuals, stratified according to urinary albumin excretion (UAE) as: G1 — 130 individuals with normoalbuminuria (24-h UAE p p p =0.005). The association between UAE with blood pressure levels, diabetes and target-organ damage in hypertensive individuals suggests that adequate control of cardiovascular risk factors should be pursued to decrease morbidity associated with these conditions.
