Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and its
associated morbidity pose a worldwide health problem. Cardiovascular disease is
the leading cause of premature death among the CKD population. Microalbuminuriais a marker of renal injury that can often be detected earlier than any
tangible decline in glomerular filtration rate.
As well as being a risk marker
of renal dysfunction, micro albuminuria is now widely accepted as an
independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The
elevation of homocysteine (Hcy) level is now known as an independent risk
factor for vascular diseases and hyperhomocysteinemia (Hcy) is more common in
Chinese patients with hypertension due to their special genetic background. It
can promote oxidant injury to the vascular endothelium, impairs
endothelium-dependent vasomotor regulation, and may also alter the coagulant
properties of the blood. Read more>>>>>>>>>
