Abstract :

Background: Microalbuminuria is a predictor for cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes and hypertension and thus these patients are routinely screened for microalbuminuria .The value of screening non diabetic and non hypertensives for microalbuminuria is unclear and yet to be established . The present study was to know the prevalence of microalbuminuria in non–diabetic, non–hypertensive acute myocardial infarction patients, to contribute to the existing knowledge of microalbuminuria as an early marker of endothelial dysfunction. Materials and methods The study was carried in Dr.PSIMS &RF , on 50 cases of established myocardial infarction who were non diabetic and non hypertensive.Urine sample was collected and analysed for Microalbumiuria and data was analysed using descriptive statistics,mean and Chi square test Results:Out of 50 patients presented with MI, Microalbuminuria is present in 78% of cases and absent in 22% of cases.54% had albuminuria in the range of 100–200 mg/L, 18% in the range of 201–300mg/L, and 6% in the range of 30–100mg/L . Conclusion:This study shows an independent association between urinary albumin excretion and cardiovascular risk in non–diabetic, non–hypertensive subset of the population with myocardial infarction
