Microalbuminuria in hypertension is not a determinant of insulin resistance

摘要

Microalbuminuria in hypertension is not a determinant of insulin resistance.BackgroundMicroalbuminuria (MA) clusters with metabolic derangements linked to the insulin resistance syndrome, and is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease in both diabetes and hypertension. This study questioned if MA, reflecting endothelial damage, is directly linked to impaired insulin action.
