Microalbuminuria and in-hospital complications of acute myocardial infarction

Abstract EN

Back ground : the micro albuminuria happens more often in diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) but it has been reported even in non-diabetic patients with AMI.

The micro albuminuria is a considerable predictive factor for in-hospital morbidity and mortality in patients with AMI.

Objectives : to examine whether micro albuminuria has predictive power for early in hospital morbidity and mortality after acute myocardial infarction.

Methods: Sixty patients with acute myocardial infarction were studied, aged (53 ± 5years), 45 male and 15 female.

The incidence of early (3-7 days) in-hospital complications and mortality of AMI was related to the first day urinary albumin.

Results: There was significant Interrelationship between micro albuminuria and incidence of early complications of AMI (p value 0.002, RR 2.1).

Conclusions : Micro albuminuria is a significant predictor of in-hospital morbidity and mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
