%X Diabetes mellitus and hypertension are known to increase   markers of inflammation, ie, highly sensitive C-reactive   protein [(hs)CRP], especially when they develop microalbuminuria.   A total of 70 patients (37 males and 33   females), all having diabetes mellitus, according to ADA   criteria and micro-albuminuria in morning spot urine   sample were recruited in the study. They were randomised   into 2 groups. Group A comprised hypertensive (34 patients)   and Group B (36 patients) normotensive individuals. (hs)CRP   level was assessed in all patients by routine assay. (hs)CRP   value of >3 mg/L was observed in 28.57% patients of group   A and 12.86% patients of group B (p=0.004). So diabetic   patients with micro-albuminuria had more frequent   association with increased marker of inflammation in the   hypertensive group compared to those without hypertension.
