Microalbuminuria in never-treated hypertensives: lack of relationship to hyperinsulinemia and genetic predisposition to hypertension

We evaluated the relationship of microalbuminuria to hyperinsulinemia and family history of hypertension in 92 never-treated essential hypertensives (mean 24-h blood pressure 140 or 90 mm Hg), with positive (F+) or negative (F−) family history of hypertension: 31 had microalbuminuria (MA+) (urinary...
