Purpose: Vitamin D deficiency is known that associated with hypertension. Microalbuminuria (MAU) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and MAU in newly diagnosed essential hypertension (NDEH) patients. Methods: A total of 116 patients with a diagnosis of NDEH were enrolled in the study. The diagnosis of hypertension was based on ABPM. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to 25(OH)D levels: Group 1: (25(OH)D)>20 ng/mL was defined as Vitamin D sufficiently (VDS), while Group 2: (25(OH)D)
