Abstract
Background and Objectives£ºMicroalbuminuria is associated with increased cardiovascular risk factors and mortality. The aims of this study were to clarify the relationship between the spot urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) and coronary artery stenosis on diagnostic coronary angiograms and to investigate its association with inflammatory markers.

Subjects and Methods£ºOne hundred thirteen consecutive patients, who underwent a diagnostic coronary angiogram, between April 2004 and July 2004, were divided into two groups: group I (n=89, 58¡¾12 years, 61 male, no microalbuminuria) and group II (n=24, 65¡¾10 years, 14 male, microalbuminuria). Microalbuminuria was diagnosed when the ACR was between 30 and 300 mg/g¡¤cr.

Results£ºThe mean age was higher in group II than group I (58¡¾12 vs. 65¡¾10 years, p=0.013), and group II also showed higher levels of white blood cell (7.0¡¾2.4 vs. 9.5¡¾4.1¡¿103/mm3, p=0.009), monocyte (0.4¡¾0.2 vs. 0.5¡¾0.2 ¡¿103/mm3, p=0.039), homocysteine (8.8¡¾3.5 vs. 10.8¡¾4.1 ¥ìmol/L, p=0.02) and fasting plasma glucose (126.1¡¾33.6 vs. 183.7¡¾75.3 mg/dL, p=0.001), and more frequent higher value of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (>0.5 mg/dL) (16.9 vs. 66.7%, p<0.001) compared with those of group I. There was a correlation between the ACR and all the inflammatory markers tested. Significant coronary lesions, requiring percutaneous coronary intervention, were more frequently detected in group II than in group I (50.6 vs. 75%, p=0.032).

Conclusion£ºThe ACR was associated with significant coronary artery disease and the inflammatory markers.
