Further adjustment for ACE inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker treatment did not substantially modify the association of hyperhomocysteinemia with albuminuria (OR = 2.18, 95%CI: 1.57-3.04), while decreasing the association of hypertension with albuminuria (OR = 1.39; 95%CI: 0.99-1.96). Here, ACE is linked to hypertensive disorder.
