MICROALBUMINEMIA;

FREQUENCY OF MICROALBUMINEMIA IN TYPE II DIABETIC PATIENTS

Abstract

Objective: to determine the frequency of microalbuminemia in type II
diabetic patients and to compare lipid profile in type II diabetic patients with and without
microalbuminuria. Settings: Department of Medicine, Allied Hospital, Faisalabad. Duration
of study: From: January 2015 to December 2015. Results: In our study, mean age was
53.18+9.32 years, 43.90% (n=151) were male and 56.10% (n=193) were females, frequency
of microalbuminuria in type II diabetes mellitus was recorded in 32.56%(n=112). Conclusion:
the frequency of microalbuminemia in type II diabetic patients is higher while the frequency
of hypertriglyceridemias, increased LDL-C and decreased HDL-C in Type II diabetic patients
is significantly higher in patients with microalbuminuria when compared them without
microalbuminuria..
