CASTANO CASTRILLON, José Jaime et al. The microalbuminuria as factor prognosis in a group of hypertense patients of an entity of 1º level of attention of Manizales (Colombia), 2010. Salud, Barranquilla [online]. 2012, vol.28, n.1, pp.36-48. ISSN 0120-5552.

Objective: To determine the value of microalbuminuria in a group of hypertensive patients. Materials and methods: Patients subscribed to the arterial-hypertension monitor and control program of ASSBASALUD E.S.E. (Manizales, Caldas) where studied. The patients were classified as low and moderate risk. And a cross-sectional study was designed for the analysis of the associated risk factors: dyslipidemia, obesity, diabetes Mellitus, acute myocardial infarction relating these factors with the microalbuminuria values found during the investigation. Results: The study was made with 86 hypertensive patients (76.7% women). In 16,7% the levels of microalbuminuria where abnormal. The found values had as maximum 95,1 mg/dl, and minimum 0,1 mg/dl with an average of 13,58 mg/dl. 34.9% of the patients registered pathological antecedents, in 74.2% the antecedent was dislipidemia and in 32% obesity. 64% of the patients had pathological family antecedents, 30% arterial hypertension and 16.4% myocardial infarction. A significant relation was found between the MA and the body mass index (p=0.028). Conclusions: The frequency of microalbuminuria related to dyslipidemia was similar to that obtained in other studies. A high prevalence was found of altered microalbuminuria in patients with dyslipidemia. The frequency of abnormal microalbuminuria found in the studied population indicates the presence of cardiovascular risk factor.
