"The Pill" May Cause Microalbuminuria
December 21, 2001
According to Dutch researchers, birth control pills and menopause hormone supplements may lead to protein deposits in urine, which in turn may result in increased kidney and heart disease risk. A study of 4,301 Dutch women revealed that estrogen-based products may double the risk of developing urinary protein deposits, a condition known as microalbuminuria. Women who smoke or have high blood pressure are at greatest risk. U.S. doctors call the results "provocative" but insist that more research should be conducted.
