Objective: To determine the frequency of microalbuminuria in type II diabetic patients visiting at tertiary care hospital.
Study Design: A cross sectional observational study.
Place and Duration: Al- Tibri Medical College and Hospital Karachi from 1st January 2018 to 30th June 2018.
Methodology: A total of 120 patients of both genders with 35-75 years of age were included in this study. Data were recorded on the
basis of demographic variables such as age, gender, duration of diabetes, body mass index etc. and laboratory parameters i.e. fasting
blood sugar, random blood sugar, glycosylated hemoglobin and microalbuminuria.
Results: Microalbuminuria was present in 50% of patients. There were total of 60% subjects that had hypertension and more
hypertensive subjects were included (83.3% vs. 36.6%) in the microalbuminuria development group (P value <0.001).
Microalbuminuria was also statistically significant with poor glycemic control of glycosylated hemoglobin (P value <0.001).
Conclusion: The frequency of microalbuminuria among type II diabetes is about one in every two patients.
