Cardiovascular risk assessment: Missing albuminuria contributing to gender inequality by Patricia de Sequera, Javier Arias, Borja Quiroga, María Benavent, Fabio Procaccini, Iago Romero, Guillermo López, Javier Diez, Alberto Ortiz

“…To these, we may add assessment of blood pressure, serum cholesterol (for familial hypercholesterolemia) and serum glucose for Diabetes. Albuminuria was the only cardiovascular risk factor that was assessed more frequently in men (up to nearly 60% more frequently), indicating that screening for CKD and CVD risk in women is suboptimal. …”
