Resumen
Introduction: It known that the presence of microalbuminuria can reflect the development of cardiovascular disease in patients with or without diabetes. Objective: To determine the prevalence of microalbuminuria in hypertensive non diabetic patients treated in the outpatient clinic for hypertension in Hospital General San Juan de Dios. Methods: Measure of microalbuminuria using the Micral-Test® reactive urine strip in 86 patients with 1 to 10 years of being diagnosed with essential hypertension. Results: Total prevalence of microalbuminuria was 81%. CHF had statistical difference between the group of patients with and without microalbuminuria with 99% of significance (p 0.03). There was not statistical difference between the group of patients with and without microalbuminuria in the rest of the variables studied.
