Microalbuminuria in stage 1 hypertension predicted by glomerular hyperfiltration

Palatini P et al. (2006) Glomerular hyperfiltration predicts the development of microalbuminuria in stage 1 hypertension: the HARVEST. Kidney Int 70: 578–584

In people with overt hypertension, microalbuminuria is associated with an increased incidence of fatal events. Detection of microalbuminuria should, therefore, trigger early intervention. But can the onset of microalbuminuria precede that of hypertension and, if so, how can its onset be predicted? Palatini et al. sought answers to these questions by analyzing data from the Hypertension and Ambulatory Recording Venetia Study (HARVEST).
