ABSTRACT: Aims/hypothesis
In contrast to microalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients, the factors correlated with urinary albumin excretion are less well known in normoalbuminuric patients. This may be important because even within the normoalbuminuric range, higher rates of albuminuria are known to be associated with higher renal and cardiovascular risk.Methods
At the time of screening for the Randomised Olmesartan and Diabetes Microalbuminuria Prevention (ROADMAP) Study, the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) was 0.44 mg/mmol in 4,449 type 2 diabetic patients. The independent correlates of UACR were analysed.Results
Independent correlates of UACR during baseline were (in descending order): night-time systolic BP (r(s) = 0.19); HbA(1c) (r(s) = 0.18); mean 24 h systolic BP (r(s) = 0.16); fasting blood glucose (r(s) = 0.16); night-time diastolic BP (r(s) = 0.12); office systolic BP, sitting (r(s) = 0.11), standing (r(s) = 0.10); estimated GFR (r(s) = 0.10); heart rate, sitting (r(s) = 0.10); haemoglobin (r(s) = -0.10); triacylglycerol (r(s) = 0.09); and uric acid (r(s) = -0.08; all p Trial registration
