Abstract
Introduction : Diabetes Mellitus is a widely prevalent
endocrine disease in the world and Nephropathy is one of
the major complications that could lead to severe morbidity
and mortality. Persistent microalbuminuria is the best predictor
of development of macroalbuminuria and further development
of end-stage renal disease as well as cardiovascular
complications. The relation between microalbuminuria and
glycosylated haemoglobin(HbA1c)as well as duration of
diabetes are not clear and studies relating these parameters
are few in our country. This study aims to understand this
aspect. Aims & Objectives : Our objective is to observe the
changes in microalbuminuria level in relation to various
parameters of patients of type 2 Diabetes mellitus and to
correlate the changes in microalbuminuria levels to HbA1c
and duration of diabetes. Materials and Methods : The study
was conducted in Medical College & Hospital, Kolkata. 40
patients of type 2 Diabetes mellitus fulfilling inclusion and
exclusion criteria were included in this study. Results were
analysed by SPSS software. Results : Microalbuminuria had
positive correlation with BMI and Waist circumference (WC).
No correlation was found between age and
microalbuminuria.There was a significant and positive
correlation found between microalbuminuria and duration
of diabetes as well as microalbuminuria and HbA1c.
