Description
Summary:According to the Brazilian Society of Nephrology, 12 million Brazilians have some degree of renal alteration and 52 million present risk factors for the development of CKD, among them, aging, obesity, AH and diabetes mellitus (DM) [4]. Some factors corroborate for increased albumin excretion, including central obesity, increased systolic blood pressure, renal dysfunction, hypertriglyceridemia, decreased HDL-cholesterol, and insulin resistance [11]. The following biochemical tests were performed: analysis of hematocrit and hemoglobin parameters; serum glucose, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, albumin, uric acid, creatinine, urea, serum sodium. Results The majority of AH patients evaluated were female (77.6%), aged 60 years or older (67.2%), without spouse (58.4%), overweight (65.8%), with schooling up to complete primary school (54.4%), followed by the illiterate population (26.1%), with family income between one and three minimum wages (84.6%), systolic blood pressure lower than 140 mmHg (76.3%) and diastolic blood pressure lower than 90 mmHg (78.6%).
