MICROALBUMINURIA IN PATIENTS WITH HYPERTENSION VISITING TERTIARY CARE CENTREWESTERNNEPAL

Microalbuminuria is often regarded as a sign of end-organ damage due to hypertension, with an increased risk for renal diseases. The present study was designed to find the prevalence of microalbuminuria in hypertensive patients by determining Albumin Creatinine ratio (ACR) and the association of ACR and microalbuminuria status with different stages and duration of hypertension (HTN). Also, to establish the correlation of Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) with various  parameters viz; ACR, urinary microalbumin (UMA), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) , Urinary creatinine  (Ucreat), serum creatinine (Screat), and find out their significance among HTN and ACR status
