Apurba Sarkar, Dr. Suresh Babu

Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: During menopause, i.e. at the age of 40 to 60, women face various physiological, psychological and biochemical changes [1]. Urinary microalbumin is usually considered for diabetic or patients with renal problems [13]. OBJECTIVE: Our aim is to study the usefulness of concurrent urinary micro albumin, urinary creatinine levels is pre and post – menopausal women and to correlate these biochemical as an early marker of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. METHODS: Patients attending at Padmashree Diagnostics, Department of Gynaecology, Bangalore, for elective diagnosis and treatment, were belonging to pre and post – menopausal state, among them 70 subjects 35 in each group were recruited for the study. Urinary micro albumin and urinary creatinine were estimated. Urinary albumin creatinine ratio was calculated using standard method. RESULTS: There was 50% increase in microalbumin excretion in premenopausal woman group. In Post–menopausal woman group shown statistically significant increased excretion to the upper limit of normal reference interval. In substantiating the above–mentioned statement, in current study we observed the microalbumin excretion was steadily increased in contrast to creatinine excretion CONCLUTION: The derived parameter confirmed that ACR is the most prognostic significant diagnostic marker in pre and post–menopausal patients.
