URINARY FINDINGS IN DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY PATIENTS

Isha Godwin, Dr. E Muthuvel

Abstract :

INTRODUCTION Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious complication of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Early detection is critical in improving clinical management. Although microalbuminuria is regarded as the gold standard for diagnosing onset of DN, here, we review various other urinary biomarkers also. AIM AND OBJECTIVE The aim was to study various urinary biomarkers for their utility in diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was done in 50 enrolled cases of diabetic nephropathy. This article reviews the scope of diabetic proteinuria. Urine is collected from patients and sent for physical, pathological and biochemical analysis. This is a retrospective study. CONCLUSION There was a statistically significant rise in urinary protein levels in virtually all of the 50 samples collected for the purpose of this study. Hence, it is a simple bio marker along with serum urea and creatinine levels, as predictor and prognostic tests in diabetics despite some limitations.
