Abstract
Background: Diabetes is an important metabolic disorder worldwide and is characterized by a variable degree of insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion, and increased glucose production. The present study was conducted to assess the correlation between HbA1cand microalbuminuria among diabetics.Materials & Methods:
Results: Group I had 20 males and 20 females and group II had 18 males and 22 females. In group I and group II, mean HbA1c (%) was 7.9 and 5.2, fasting blood sugar (FBS) (mg/dL) was 174.2 and 86.2, postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) (mg/dL) was 258.6 and 124.8, blood urea (mg/dL) was 28.4 and 14.2, serum sodium (mEq/L) was 127.2 and 138.9, serum potassium (mEq/L) was 2.7 and 3.8, serum creatinine (mg/dL) was 1.5 and 0.84 and microalbuminuria (mg/L) was 43.6 and 10.6. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). There was positive correlation of microalbuminuria and duration of DM (r- 0.521, p- 0.03), microalbuminuria and FBS (r- 0.316, p-0.05), microalbuminuria and PPBS (r- 0.412, p- 0.02) and microalbuminuria and HbA1c (r- 0.833, p-0.01).
Conclusion: The prevalence of microalbuminuria in diabetic patientswas found to be high. There was a correlation between glycated hemoglobin and microalbuminuria among diabetics.
