Abstract :

Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most common microvascular complication of diabetes. It is the measure cause of the morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients.

Material and method: This Study was conducted at MGM Medical College and Hospital, Navi– Mumbai. 22 patients with diabetic nephropathy and 22 diabetic patients without nephropathy were taken as cases and 22 healthy individuals were taken as controls.

Result: In our study we found significant correlation of urine microalbumin with HbA_1C, T. Cholesterol, TG, HDL and GFR in Diabetic patient with nephropathy.

Conclusion: A significant association exists between High HbA_1C, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL and low GFR with microalbuminuria. Hence, it is recommended that all patients with diabetes should be screened early for the presence of microalbuminuria, dyslipidemia along with uncontrolled glycemic status and therapeutic interventions should be performed to prevent further complications. We conclude that urine microalbumin is a better predictor of nephropathy than GFR in type II diabetes and it may be implemented as an early marker for the same.
