Microalbuminuria, a marker of both kidney disease and endothelial dysfunction, may be associated with global vascular risk, but the nature and magnitude of the link between microalbuminuria and incident stroke has not been clearly defined. The purpose of this study was to assess the consistency and strength of the association of microalbuminuria with risk of stroke in prospective studies using meta-analysis.
