BACKGROUND: Higher levels of urinary albumin excretion predict future hypertension and chronic kidney disease. Post-menopausal hormone use may influence the renin-angiotensin system and renal endothelial function, impacting albumin excretion. The association between post-menopausal hormone use and albuminuria is not well defined. METHODS: We explored the cross-sectional association between duration of PMH use and albuminuria in 2445 post-menopausal, non-diabetic women from the Nurses' Health Study. Women were categorized as hormone non-users, past users or current users grouped by 3-year intervals of duration of use, from < or =3 years to >15 years. The outcome was the top decile of urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR). Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the association between duration of PMH use and risk of being in the top decile. RESULTS: The mean age was 66.8 years, and 57% were currently using PMH. The median ACR was 2.9 mg/g, and the 90th percentile was 9.2 mg/g. Compared with women with no history of PMH use, the odds ratio for being in the top ACR decile was lower for women with use of >6-9 years, >9-12 years, >12-15 years and >15 years, but there was no dose-response. The overall odds ratio was 0.55 (95% CI: 0.39-0.77) among women with >6 years of current PMH use compared with non-users. Current hormone use of shorter duration and past hormone use were not associated with albumin excretion. CONCLUSIONS: Current PMH use of >6 years is associated with a lower urinary ACR in non-diabetic women.
