Obesity is a modifiable risk factor for incipient nephropathy in Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2017, Vol 21, Issue 3
Abstract
Objectives: Early screening of obese T2DM patients in the stage of incipient nephropathy and to find the association of microalbuminuria with other risk factors. Methodology: The study was conducted in the diabetic clinic of a tertiary care hospital in South India on 60 T2DM patients who were categorized into obese and non-obese groups for comparing microalbuminuria in them. As spot urine sample was taken, Albumin Creatinine Ratio (ACR) was used to compare the levels of microalbuminuria. Result: The mean albumin excretion was significantly higher in the obese group compared to the non-obese. ACR showed significant positive correlation with duration of diabetes, body mass index, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c. Conclusion: Obesity increases the risk for microalbuminuria in T2DM patients. Early intervention can prevent the development of nephropathy in such patients.
