Metabolic syndrome in hypertensive patients: An unholy alliance

Figure 4 Box plots showing urinary albumin excretion rates in nondiabetic hypertensives participating in the Renal Dysfunction in Hypertension study[39], divided in subjects with and without the metabolic syndrome. In the Box-and-Whisker plots, the central boxes represent the interquartile range (25^th to 75^th percentile). The middle lines, and the numbers above these lines, represent the median values. Lower and upper whiskers extend to 5^th and 95^th percentile. MetS: Metabolic syndrome.
