Microalbuminuria in non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.

Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is the commonest form of diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nature and prevalence of microalbuminuria (MAU) in NIDDM. One hundred and twenty-eight NIDDM patients participated in this study on the prevalence of microalbuminuria and albumin excretion rate (AER).

Microalbuminuria in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.

This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of microalbuminuria (MAU) and albumin excretion rate (AER) in a timed overnight (12 hours) urine sample, in 72 insulin-dependent-diabetic (IDD) patients and to correlate the same to the clinical profile, glycemic control and to diabetic complications. Nine IDD patients (prevalence--12.5%) were detected to be microalbuminuric.
