Microalbuminaria in hypertension: a review
Microalbuminuria appears early in the natural history of kidney disease. Hypertension accelerates the progressive increase in albuminuria and decline in glomerular filtration rate, albuminuria is the most important risk for progressive kidney injury. Greater urinary albumin excretion is due to incre...
