Introduction: Microalbuminuria is a well known risk factor for renal damage and for cardiovascular disease in type-2 diabetic patients.
Objective: To evaluate anthropometric, laboratory, and diet factors related to the presence of microalbuminuria in non-hypertensive type 2 diabetic subjects.
Material And Methods: We carry-out an assessment of a group of non-hypertensive diabetic patients with or without microalbuminuria. Some anthropometric measures, physical fitness, tobacco and alcohol consumption, creatinine clearance, HbA1c, lipid profile, the mean fast serum glucose levels in last two years, 24 h urine protein, and caloric intake were all measured.
Results: From 86 included patients, 19 had microalbuminuria; it was related with the length of diabetes mellitus duration (114 +/- 55 vs. 84 +/- 67 months; p = 0.03), higher HbA1c level (8.9 vs. 7.1%; p = 0.001), and lower HDL-cholesterol levels (37.7 +/- 11 vs. 42.9 +/- 12 mg/dL; p = 0.03). In the multivariate analysis HbA1c level, and mean fast glucose remained significant.
Conclusions: In non-hypertensive diabetic subjects, poor glucose control, and longer disease duration were both related with microalbuminuria. Moreover, caloric intake, exercise, tobacco or alcohol consumption, or BMI did not show association with microalbuminuria.

Article Synopsis
- - This study evaluated the diagnostic value of four urinary biomarkers in male patients with type 2 diabetes and nephropathy over a 9-month period, comparing them to diabetic patients without nephropathy as a control group.
- - Key findings showed that the urinary biomarker AGT (angiotensinogen) had the highest diagnostic performance, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.91, indicating strong sensitivity and specificity for identifying diabetic nephropathy.
- - The research concludes that urinary AGT is a more effective marker than others for detecting diabetic nephropathy before albuminuria occurs and recommends further studies to support these findings.

Background & Objectives: Activation of renin-angiotensin system and tubulointerstitial damage might be seen in pre-albuminuria stage of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Here, diagnostic utility of four urinary biomarkers [Angiotensinogen (Angio), Interleukin (IL)-18, Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) and Cystatin] during pre-albuminuria stages of non-hypertensive type 2 diabetes patients was studied.
Methods: A total of 952 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients were screened for nephropathy [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥120 ml/min and albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) ≥30], and 120 patients were followed up for one year.

Background And Aims: The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of microalbuminuria and examine the association of microalbuminuria with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its component in a Bangladeshi adult cohort.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 175 subjects (84 males and 91 females; aged 19-59 years), recruited from the outdoor Department of Medicine and Endocrinology of a medical college hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Lipid profile and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were measured in serum and albumin and creatinine were determined in urine samples.

Background: Left atrial remodelling (LAR) has been described in Western populations with chronic hypertension and is associated with a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events. Although hypertension tends to occur earlier and is more severe in sub-Saharan Africa than in more developed nations, LAR and its associated factors in these African hypertensive subjects have been poorly elucidated.
Objectives: To assess left atrial structural remodelling in black hypertensive patients and determine factors associated with left atrial size.

: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is frequent in patients with cardiovascular risk factors including arterial hypertension, and it is associated with vascular damage in other organs and the risk of stroke, cognitive impairment, and dementia. Early diagnosis of CSVD could prevent deleterious consequences. : To characterize CSVD associated with indicators of subclinical vascular damage in asymptomatic hypertensive patients.
