Abstract

Introduction: Diabetic nephropathy is accompanied with significant micro vascular risk and is the leading cause of kidney disease. Hence there is an immense need to detect early for better quality of the care of affected patients and treat effectively those at high risk of diabetic kidney disease. Our study was aimed to assess the levels of microalbuminuria, glycated hemoglobin, urinary creatinine, urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) along with blood urea and serum creatinine in patients with type 2 DM, and to observe the incidence of microalbuminuria at tertiary care center; and correlate the presence of microalbuminuria to the duration of DM as well as with ACR.
Materials and Methods: Estimation of Blood sugar, Blood Urea, Serum Creatinine, Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), Urinary micro albumin and creatinine was done. Values of urinary creatinine, microalbumin, urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) showed highly significant (p<0> Conclusion: Routine screening for microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetic patients will certainly helpful for early detection of renal damage and thus to minimize the burden of diabetic complications due to renal involvement. Hence addition of microalbuminuria along with diabetic profile for medical checkup will help to assess microalbuminuria at frequent intervals.
 

Keywords: Type 2 diabetes, Microalbuminuria, Urinary albumin to creatinine ratio 1.
