Hospital based study on prevalence and risk factors for microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients attending medical college and hospital
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Biochemistry - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Diabetes is major public health problem leading to different complications. Diabetic nephropathy initially presents as microalbuminuria and its management may slow the progress of the disease. The present hospital based cross sectional study was conducted to find the prevalence of microalbuminuria in type-2 diabetic patients and to evaluate the relation between microalbuminuria and other risk factors. The study enrolled 187 patients. Clinical history was taken and laboratory examination was done. It was found that the prevalence of microalbuminuria was 21.9%. Microalbuminuria is strongly associated with fasting blood sugar, glycosylated haemoglobin and duration of diabetes.
