MICROALBUMINURIA AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH LIPID PROFILE IN PREHYPERTENSION

Shivani Godara, Priyanka Kumari Mandia

Abstract :

Prehypertension is a precursor of clinical hypertension and is closely related with increased incidence of cardiovascular disease. The risk factors such as high cholesterol, obesity and diabetes are seen more in people with prehypertension than in those with normal blood pressure. The present study was planned to study the association of Lipid Profile with microalbuminuria in prehypertension. For the study, 100 patients with prehypertension visiting the Medicine out–patient department of Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, Jaipur were selected based on the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of total prehypertensive patients 32% exhibited MA. Out of the parameters of lipid profile; serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and VLDL were significantly higher in microalbuminuria as compared to normal groups. Serum HDL levels was non–significant among both groups. The study reported dyslipidemia to be associated with occurrence of microalbuminuria.
