Item Microalbuminuria in Non Diabetic Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients(Society for Health Care & Research Development, 2018-05) Talikota Shankar Kumar; Prakesh. G. Mantur; R. C. Bidri; Sai Krishnan Popuri; Venkateshbhavirisetty; Prasad, Dasari. P. D.Background: Aim: To estimate microalbuminuria in non-diabetic patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome And assess the relationship between the two. Methodology: All patients age >18yrs, both sexes diagnosed as acute coronary syndrome based on history and relevant investigations and admitted in BLDEU’S Shri B.M PATIL Medical college hospital and research centre Vijayapur. microalbuminuria was measured at admission and compared with standard normal mean value. Results: This study was conducted on 60 patients, of the study group 70.0% were male and30.0% were female. The age ranged from 30 to 85 years of age. The mean age of thegroup was 55.5 ±13.19 SD. The known risk factors of ACS were studied and correlated,37.2 % of all patients were smokers, 31% were tobacco chewers, 24.7 % had diabetesmellitus, 31.8% were hypertensive and 8 % had family history of ACS. The meanmicroalbuminuria value in mg/dl for STEMI was 35 ± 0.30 SD, for NSTEMI it was 21±1.6 and for unstable angina it was 22 ± 1.0 SD. The mean microalbuminuria in patientswith ACS was 44.6 ± 3.2 SD mg/dl incompared to microalbuminuria levels of 30mg/l innormal population (p<0.0001). Conclusion:This study showed an correlation of microalbuminuria with ACS. This reinforcesthe fact that microalbuminuria acts as emerging potential risk factor marker.
