Abstract

Microalbuminuria is a well-established, strong, and independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease. Patients with microalbuminuria are also said to have a higher atherosclerotic load in the form of multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) than those who do not. In this study, we tried to correlate microalbuminuria with the severity of CAD. In this cross-sectional study, 100 patients with CAD diagnosed on the basis of coronary angiography were enrolled from August 2019 to August 2021. Triple-vessel CAD was observed in 79.4% of cases with the presence of microalbuminuria compared with 3% of cases without microalbuminuria. The association of microalbuminuria with the severity of disease was statistically significant (P <0.01). A significant correlation was observed between microalbuminuria and the Framingham risk score in cases of CAD (P <0.01), which was a measure of the 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease.
