Prevalence and correlates of microalbuminuria in high-risk persons with hypertension, diabetes, or HIV at a tertiary hospital in Zambia
The findings underscore the importance of routine screening for microalbuminuria in high-risk populations. Early detection and intervention could prevent the progression of microalbuminuria to overt renal disease, particularly in individuals with diabetes, HIV, and systemic inflammation. Integrating microalbuminuria screening into chronic disease management programs is essential to mitigate renal complications in these vulnerable groups.
