Abstract

Cardiovascular risk (CVR) estimation is a fundamental tool for guiding therapy. Albuminuria indicates target organ damage in an accessible, economic and non-invasive manner. Improves high-risk patient identification, especially in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus (DM). In addition, anti-albuminuric treatments may improve CVR. This would position albuminuria as a guide and therapeutic objective. Although the capacity of albuminuria as an epidemiological CVR marker in specific populations (hypertension, CKD, DM) is accepted, its profile as a risk marker in the general population and as a therapeutic target is controversial. There is ambiguous evidence regarding its predictive capacity, added to the fact that treatments such as SLGT2 blockers reduce CVR events regardless of albuminuria presence or magnitude.

This review analyzes the available evidence on albuminuria as a CVR marker, a treatment goal and therapeutic guide.

Resumen

La estimación de riesgo cardiovascular (RCV) es una herramienta fundamental para dirigir la terapéutica. Albuminuria indica daño en órgano blanco de manera accesible, económica y no invasiva. Mejora la identificación de pacientes de alto riesgo, especialmente en enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) y diabetes mellitus (DM). Además, tratamientos antialbuminúricos mejorarían el RCV y la ocurrencia de eventos. Esto posicionaría a la albuminuria como guía y objetivo terapéutico. Si bien la capacidad de albuminuria como marcador epidemiológico de RCV en poblaciones específicas es aceptado, su perfil de marcador de riesgo en población general y como objetivo terapéutico es controvertido. Existe evidencia contrapuesta respecto a su capacidad de predicción, sumado a que tratamientos como los bloqueadores SGLT2 reducen eventos CV independientemente de la presencia y/o magnitud de albuminuria.

En esta revisión se analiza la evidencia disponible sobre albuminuria como marcador de RCV, como objetivo de tratamiento y como guía terapéutica.
