Abstract
Background: The excretion of albumin in urine of 30-300 mg/day is referred to as microalbuminuria, which is not be detected through ordinary urine assessments. The presence of increased Urinary albumin excretion (UAE) signals an growth inside the transcapillary leak rate of albumin and is consequently a marker of micro vascular disorder. Thus, microalbuminuria is an early reaction to myocardial infarction.
Methods: A health facility based totally descriptive study of a hundred patients of acute myocardial infarction became achieved to find the prevalence of microalbuminuria among non-diabetic normotensive individuals of acute Myocardial Infarction; to confirm its prognostic importance of in-hospital complications of the patients admitted; and to set up the correlation of microalbuminuria with cardiac biomarkers.
Results: Microalbuminuria check became positive in 87% patients. The prevalence of microalbuminuria in our study is about 87% and in hospital complications of the acute myocardial infarction patients occur statistically more in patients who are having persistent microalbuminuria on both day 1 and day 5 of urine protein estimation.
Conclusions: Microalbuminuria is more prevalent in patients with acute myocardial infarction patients. Hence, Microalbuminuria is a non specific yet high sensitive marker of myocardial infarction and it could be used as a further biochemical parameter in acute myocardial infarction patients who were non diabetics and can be used as a marker for predicting in-hospital complications
