Essential hypertensive patients (176 males and 329 females), aged 58.0 ± 11.2 years were enrolled in a cross-sectional study conducted from February to March 2006 to investigate the prevalence and risk factors for microalbuminuria in hypertensive patients attending the Outpatient Department of Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. Macroalbuminuria was detected in 11 (2.2%) patients and microalbuminuria in 94 (18.6%) patients. Only males aged 45 years or more, or females aged 55 years or more correlated significantly with a high occurrence of microalbuminuria, while calcium channel blocker and statin users were protected against microalbuminuria. The presence of microalbuminuria was not associated with age 60 years or more, male gender, current/previous smokers, hypertension duration for 10 years or more, lack of blood pressure normalization, metabolic syndrome, use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers, and multi-drug use. Risk factor recognition for microalbuminuria will enable physicians to identify cases that should be screened for microalbuminuria.
