Obese adults exhibited a 24% prevalence of microalbuminuria compared to 5.33% in nonobese adults, highlighting a significant renal risk.

Comparative cross-sectional analysis conducted at a tertiary care hospital collected data from 75 obese and 75 nonobese adults.
The findings underscore the critical need to address obesity as a risk factor for renal disease and cardiovascular health.
