| Abstract | ||
| Back ground: The microalbuminuria happens more often in diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) but it has been reported even in non-diabetic patients with AMI. The microalbuminuria is a considerable predictive factor for in-hospital morbidity and mortality in patients with AMI. Objectives: To examine whether microalbuminuria has predictive power for early in hospital morbidity and mortality after acute myocardial infarction. Methods: Sixty patients with acute myocardial infarction were studied, aged (53 ± 5years), 45 male and 15 female. The incidence of early (3-7 days) in-hospital complications and mortality of AMI was related to the first day urinary albumin. Results: There was significant Interrelationship between microalbuminuria and incidence of early complications of AMI (p value 0.002, RR 2.1). Conclusions: Microalbuminuria is a significant predictor of in-hospital morbidity and mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction | ||
