Early Development of Overt Proteinuria in Extremely Uncontrolled Type 1 Diabetic Patients
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Overt proteinuria usually occurs in 15 to 40% of patients with type1 diabetes, with a peak incidence around 15 to 20 years of diabetes. The aim of the study is to know the incidence of overt proteinuria in extremely uncontrolled type 1 diabetes with less than 10 years diabetes duration. Methods: 50 patients (23 female and 27 male) with extremely uncontrolled type 1 diabetes (group A), attending the study with 22 good controlled type 1 diabetic patients (control group or group B) All patients had diagnosis of type 1 diabetes of less than 10 years. The average of the readings of the proteinuria was taken for each patient. Results: 18 patients of group A (36%) had overt proteinuria (biopsy proven). Three of them (6%) with a mean duration of diabetes of 5.2 years and 15 of them (30%) with mean duration of diabetes of 8.1 years. Conclusion: We may find overt proteinuria in extremely uncontrolled type 1 diabetic patients with less than 10 years duration of diabetes.
