Albuminuria ‘reflects severity’ of systemic congestion in heart failure
Cardiologists shed new light on the underlying mechanisms and prognostic relevance of albuminuria in this setting
Albuminuria in new-onset or worsening heart failure is closely associated with markers of systemic congestion irrespective of diabetes and hypertension status, Dutch cardiologists report.
Their results, based on data from 3700 adults with heart failure (HF), also point to a high prevalence of albuminuria in this setting as it was detected in almost half of the patients.
