Microalbuminuria como marcador de daño renal en pacientes hipertensos que acuden al Centro de Salud Universitario de Motupe

AH (arterial hypertension) is a disease based on increased total peripheral vascular resistance, i.e. increased pressure greater than or equal to 140 mmHg (systolic) and 90 mmHg (diastolic), this arterial pressure is the force applied by the blood to the walls of the arteries. Uncontrolled arterial hypertension is the starting point for the development of kidney damage, which is serious, as this relationship can be a silent epidemic because there are no symptoms in the hypertensive patient in the earliest stages. Given that microalbuminuria is recognised as an early marker of renal damage in hypertensive patients, this research work seeks to obtain specific levels of microalbuminuria in the local context and to evaluate the influence of age and sex on these values in order to verify whether there is any relationship. Therefore, a cross-sectional analytical investigation was carried out in which 21 hypertensive patients attending the University Health Centre of Motupe who met the inclusion criteria were included. A total of 9.5% of patients had altered microalbuminuria values, while 90.5% had values within the normal range. Neither sex nor age had a statistically significant relationship on microalbuminuria parameters, however, a percentage of 50% of women and men had altered microalbuminuria values, as well as 50% belonging to the normal range
