Urinary Ngal and albumin levels in hypertensive patients having either obesity or diabetes. (A) Mean (±SEM) urinary Ngal/urinary creatinine ratios (uNgal/Cr) in patients before and 3 months after treatment with angiotensin receptor blockers, as well as in healthy controls. Comparison was carried out by paired and unpaired t-tests. (B) No significant correlation was observed between urinary Ngal and urinary albumin excretion (uAlb/Cr) before the treatment in patients with hypertension (open circles, n = 26), when analysed with or without healthy controls (closed circles, n = 10), by linear regression analysis.
