Since 2003, US hypertension guidelines have recommended angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) as first-line antihypertensive therapy in the presence of albuminuria (urine albumin/creatinine ratio ≥300 mg/g). To examine national trends in guideline-concordant ACEi/ARB utilization, we studied adults participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 2001-2018 with hypertension (defined by self-report of high blood pressure, systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic ≥90 mmHg, or use of antihypertensive medications). Among 20,538 included adults, prevalence of albuminuria ≥300 mg/g was 2.8% in 2001-2006, 2.8% in 2007-2012, and 3.2% in 2013-2018. Among those with albuminuria ≥300 mg/g, no consistent trends were observed for the proportion receiving ACEi/ARB treatment from 2001-2018 among persons with diabetes, without diabetes, or overall. In 2013-2018, ACEi/ARB usage in the setting of albuminuria ≥300 mg/g was 55.3% (95% CI; 46.8%-63.6%) among adults with diabetes and 33.4% (95% CI; 23.1%-45.5%) among those without diabetes. Based on US population counts, these estimates represent 1.6 million adults with albuminuria ≥300 mg/g currently not receiving ACEi/ARB therapy, nearly half of whom do not have diabetes. ACEi/ARB underutilization represents a significant gap in preventive care delivery for adults with hypertension and albuminuria that has not substantially changed over time.
