Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Microalbuminuria occurs when kidney leaks a minute amount of albumin in urine or when there is an abnormally increase in permeability for albumin in the renal glomerulus. It is a strong risk factor of cardiovascular disease and diabetic nephropathy. The aim of this study was to see the prevalence of Urinary Microalbumin (UMA) in type 2 diabetic patients with chronic complications in comparision to type 2 diabetic patients without any complication. Material and Methods: The study includes 80 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus with complications such as hypertension, neuropathy and retinopathy and 20 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus as control. Results: In our study, microalbumin levels were found to be at a significantly higher levels in patients with complications, in comparison to patients without complications. Conclusion: Our study shows that proper glycemic control will prevent from microalbuminuria and thereby to prevent the progress of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
