Abstract

Background: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) account for large proportion of deaths and disabilities worldwide. Microalbuminuria is a known indicator of atherosclerosis and its association with ischemic heart disease (IHD) has been extensively studied. But the significance of urine microalbumin in non-diabetics, non-hypertensive ischemic heart disease, however, is yet to be elucidated. Materials and Methods: In present study 100 patients of ischemic heart disease (IHD) with no history of diabetes mellitus and hypertension were studied to ascertain the role of microalbuminuria as a marker of ischemic heart disease. Results: Out of all patients 85% were males and 15% females. In present study microalbuminuria (20–200 mg/L) was found in 69% of patients. Conclusion: In present study high microalbuminuria was observed in non-diabetic non-hypertensive ischemic heart disease patients.

Keywords: Microalbuminuria; Ischemic heart disease; Non-diabetes; Non-hypertensive.
