title: [Frequency of microalbuminuria in an adult population].
abstract: Urinary samples overnight collected from the thousand normotensive adults with normal urinalysis and normal serum levels of creatinine, urea and glucose were tested for the presence of microalbuminuria by latex test Sclavo. Fourty-five cases were positive: the values of microalbuminuria in 21 of these cases tested with RIA method exceeded 26 mg/l; one hundred twenty-six latex-negative cases evidenced lower RIA values. The high sensitivity of the test and its clinical significance suggest the need of an automatic procedure for detecting microalbuminuria in Albustix-negative urine samples.
