ALB and Hypertension: Low grade albuminuria/microalbuminuria (3–30 mg albumin/mmol creatinine or 30–300 mg albumin/g creatinine), or 20 to 200 μg albumin excreted in the urine per minute (daytime)) is well-known to predict cardiovascular events and mortality in various clinical cohorts, but also in subjects with hypertension and diabetes from the general population [12].
