Prevalence and Correlation of Masked Hypertension with Microalbuminuria in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Sehra Iqbal, Sulthan Raslin Salih, Pt Iqbal

Abstract: Early detection of microvascular and macrovascular complications in diabetes is crucial for timely intervention. This study investigated the prevalence of masked hypertension in normotensive Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients and assessed its correlation with microalbuminuria, an early indicator of diabetic nephropathy. Among 84 participants, 22.6% exhibited masked hypertension, and 27.4% had microalbuminuria. A significant correlation was observed between masked hypertension and increased prevalence of microalbuminuria (p = 0.026). These findings highlight the importance of routine screening for masked hypertension and microalbuminuria in diabetic patients to mitigate the risk of kidney complications.

Keywords: Masked hypertension, microalbuminuria, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, diabetic nephropathy, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
