Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:Although several studies have reported an association between microalbuminuria and pulse wave velocity in patients with hypertension or diabetes, there have been no reports of their significance in apparently healthy individuals. METHODS:Microalbuminuria and brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV) were investigated in a sample of 3826 nonhypertensive, nondiabetic individuals (3598 men, mean age 50 ± 11.3 years) at Kangbuk Samsung Health Promotion Center between 2006 and 2009. The patients were classified into two groups according to urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) in morning urine specimens: normoalbuminuria (<30 μg/mg) and microalbuminuria (30-300 μg/mg). RESULTS:The prevalence of prehypertension (preHT) and microalbuminuria was 52.5 and 4%, respectively. Abnormal baPWV and microalbuminuria each has unfavorable cardiometabolic profile. The absolute values of baPWV were correlated with those of UACR (r = 0.220, P < 0.001). In multivariate regression analysis, the microalbuminuria group showed an independent association of increasing baPWVs irrespective of potential confounders, compared with the normoalbuminuria group (standard β = 0.049, P < 0.001). In the subspecified analyses, category III (preHT + normoalbuminuria) and IV (preHT + microalbuminuria) had higher odds ratio (ORs) [95% confidence interval (CI)] for the abnormal baPWV group, compared with category I (normal BP + normoalbuminuria) [2.345 (2.010-2.735) and 3.822 (2.367-6.171), respectively]. CONCLUSION:These findings demonstrate epidemiologic evidence for an independent association between arterial stiffness and microalbuminuria, indices of subclinical target organ damage in nonhypertensive, nondiabetic individuals, which suggests the possibility of a similar pathophysiologic mechanism involved in these two indices of subclinical target organ damage.
