Relationship of Arterial Compliance and Blood Pressure with Microalbuminuria and Mildly Decreased Glomerular Filtration Rate: A Chinese Community-Based Analysis

摘要

ObjectiveThis analysis is designed to determine the prevalence of microalbuminuria (MAU) and mildly decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR); to investigate the association of augmentation index (AIx), central blood pressure (cBP) and peripheral blood pressure (pBP) with MAU and mildly decreased GFR; and to compare the association strength of cBP and pBP with MAU and mildly decreased GFR.
