Urinary MicroRNA Profiling Predicts the Development of Microalbuminuria in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes
2015
Microalbuminuria provides the earliest clinical marker of diabetic nephropathy among patients with Type 1 diabetes, yet it lacks sensitivity and specificity for early histological manifestations of disease. In recent years microRNAs have emerged as potential mediators in the pathogenesis of diabetes complications, suggesting a possible role in the diagnosis of early stage disease. We used quantiative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to evaluate the expression profile of 723 unique microRNAs in the normoalbuminuric urine of patients who did not develop nephropathy (n = 10) relative to patients who subsequently developed microalbuminuria (n = 17). Eighteen microRNAs were strongly associated w…
The Metabolic Syndrome and Its Relationship to Hypertensive Target Organ Damage
2007
High blood pressure is often associated with various metabolic abnormalities, including abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, elevated plasma glucose, and insulin resistance, which are the main features of the metabolic syndrome. The metabolic syndrome is extremely common worldwide. This high prevalence is of considerable concern because several studies suggest that the metabolic syndrome carries an increased risk for cardiovascular events. Several lines of evidence seem to indicate that the metabolic syndrome is associated with an increased prevalence of preclinical cardiovascular and renal changes, such as left ventricular hypertrophy, microalbuminuria, impaired aortic elasticity, and early ca…
Cardiovascular risk assessment beyond Systemic Coronary Risk Estimation: A role for organ damage markers
2012
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular risk assessment in the clinical practice is mostly based on risk charts, such as Framingham risk score and Systemic Coronary Risk Estimation (SCORE). These enable clinicians to estimate the impact of cardiovascular risk factors and assess individual cardiovascular risk profile. Risk charts, however, do not take into account subclinical organ damage, which exerts independent influence on risk and may amplify the estimated risk profile. Inclusion of organ damage markers in the assessment may thus contribute to improve this process. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to evaluate the influence of implementation of SCORE charts with widely available indexes of organ damage, with t…
Proteinuria-Microalbuminuria in Renal Damage
2015
Proteinuria (P) usually results from an insult in the glomerular and/or tubular structures of the kidney. It has been considered a marker of risk not only to develop renal insufficiency but also to suffer cardiovascular events, based on prospective studies carried out in the general population as well as in diabetic and hypertensive patients [1]. In fact, proteinuria has been considered a strong marker of risk and an intermediate endpoint during treatment [2, 3].
Identificación de factores genéticos asociados con el desarrollo de la microalbuminuria en la hipertensión esencial
2017
IDENTIFICACIÓN DE FACTORES GENÉTICOS ASOCIADOS CON EL DESARROLLO DE LA MICROALBUMINURIA EN LA HIPERTENSIÓN ESENCIAL La excreción urinaria de albúmina es uno de los marcadores de riesgo más utilizados en el estudio del desarrollo de la enfermedad cardiovascular. El incremento de los valores de EUA está provocado por el aumento de la filtración glomerular a nivel del túbulo proximal, la cual puede estar producida por un aumento sistemático de la presión arterial. Tradicionalmente se ha venido estudiando la presencia de microalbuminuria en relación a otros factores de riesgo cardiovascular como son la diabetes mellitus y la hipertensión, debido la relevacia de estas patologías en el desarrollo…
Influencia de la variabilidad glucémica sobre la salud micro y macrovascular en niños y adolescentes con diabetes tipo 1
2015
INTRODUCCIÓN: La enfermedad cardiovascular precoz es la principal causa de morbi-mortalidad en el paciente diabético. Se ha demostrado que el estrés oxidativo, responsable del daño vascular, es mayor en condiciones de hiperglucemia intermitente que durante la hiperglucemia mantenida. La implicación de la variabilidad glucemia como causa de las complicaciones vasculares de la diabetes es controvertida y prácticamente no estudiada en la edad pediátrica. HIPÓTESIS: La variabilidad glucémica se relaciona en niños y adolescentes diabéticos tipo 1 con las complicaciones subclínicas macro y microvasculares. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio transversal, analítico y observacional realizado en la Unidad d…
Microalbuminuria Is Associated With Aortic Stiffness Independently of Creatinine Clearance in Essential Hypertension

Reproducibility and validity of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in children.
2002
During the past several years ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) has been introduced into the study of hypertension and has become a useful tool in making clinical decisions. The ABPM improves the reproducibility of the estimates of a subject's casual blood pressure (BP) both in normotensive and in hypertensive subjects, independent of age. The advantages of ambulatory BP (ABP) over its office counterpart have been studied in children to observe the relationship between BP measurement and early markers of organ damage. In different groups of subjects that have included normotensives, essential hypertensives, renal transplant recipients, or patients with repair of an aortic coarctat…
