Lower urine uromodulin is associated with trend to lower sodium excretion in middle-aged subjects

Objective: Recent GWAS studies found uromodulin gene polymorphisms to be associated with increased risk for hypertension (HT) and chronic kidney disease. It was hypothesized that relation of uromodulin with HT might be through effects on sodium renal excretion. Our aim was to analyse association of urinary uromodulin concentrations (uUMc) with blood pressure (BP) and sodium excretion in a group of untreated middle-aged subjects. Design and method: In this cross-sectional study 175 apparently healthy untreated subjects without a history for CV and with eGFR> 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 were enrolled. Fasting blood and urine 24-hour urine sample were obtained and BP was measured following ESH/ESC guidelines in office (Omron M6) and during regular working (ABPM: Mobile-O-Graph). Based on office BP subjects were divided according to the JNC-7 classification. Uromodulin was determined by Enzyme
