Abstract:
Microalbuminuria is a considerable good indicator of atherogenic disease and cardiovascular risk. In the arterial hypertension, the main centre organ is the kidney. Structural and functional changes that happen in the hypertensive nephropathy are going to cause alterations m the albumin urinary excretion. The authors have done a revision of the main factors which can origin the existence of microalbuminuria in patients with arterial hypertension, and they conclude that this is an useful biochemist indicator in order to evaluate the degree of renal disease in these patients.
