Abstract
Albuminuria increases within the normal range in hypertensive individuals with OSA compared with those without OSA proportionally to OSA severity independently of confounders. The association of upper-airway dysfunction with albuminuria and pulsatile hemodynamic load may provide an explanatory mechanism for the OSA-related risk in hypertension.
