Popis: OBJECTIVE A continuous association between albuminuria and cardiorenal risk exists further below moderately increased albuminuria ranges. If only based in albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) higher than 30 mg/g, a significant percentage of individuals may be out of the scope for therapeutic management. Despite epidemiological outcomes, the identification of biochemical changes linked to early albuminuria is underexplored, and normoalbuminuric individuals are usually considered at no risk in clinical practice. Here, we aimed to identify early molecular alterations behind albuminuria development. METHODS Hypertensive patients under renin-angiotensin system (RAS) suppression were classified as control, (ACR
