diabetes mellitus (dm) is the most prevalent metabolic disease worldwide and is associated with coronary artery disease (cad). therefore it is very important to find a clue to diagnose the presence of cad as early as possible in dm patients. the aim of this study was to find any correlation between microalbuminuria (mau) and the severity of cad in patients with dm type 2. this was a cross secti...

of both hypertension [11] and coronary heart disease The concept of microalbuminuria was introduced more [12] among the non-diabetic parents of patients with than 30 years ago when it became possible to measure nephropathy. With regard to NIDDM, it has been concentrations of urinary albumin below the level of reported that non-diabetic relatives of NIDDM detection of a urinary protein dipstick ...

INTRODUCTION The disease complex comprised of atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and other associated chronic vascular diseases is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Microalbuminuria is a marker for vascular damage in the heart, kidney and brain. This paper presents selected findings of the clinical-epidemiological Isle of Youth Study (ISYS) of markers for kidney and vascular ...

Microalbuminuria is an early sign of progressive cardiovascular and renal disease in individuals with and without diabetes. Despite compelling data, at present only a minority of patients with diabetes and rarely individuals without diabetes are screened for albuminuria in a systematic way. All of the criteria to implement systematic albuminuria screening are fulfilled in diabetes, and most are...

OBJECTIVE To examine if preoperative microalbuminuria is associated with an increased risk of long-term adverse outcomes following elective cardiac surgery and if it provides additional prognostic information beyond the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE). METHODS In a prospective follow-up study, we included 1049 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery from...

Microalbuminuria is an early marker of renal damage and has been shown to predict future cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in patients with diabetes or hypertension, as well as in subjects in the general population. In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that the presence of microalbuminuria reflects the advancement of arterial stiffness by using a study group of 136 community resid...

Microalbuminuria, an early feature of diabetic nephropathy, indicates intrarenal endothelial damage. In type 2 diabetes, microalbuminuria is strongly related to insulin resistance. We therefore investigated whether rosiglitazone, an insulin-sensitizing drug that is known to improve endothelial dysfunction, was able to improve intrarenal endothelial dysfunction and microalbuminuria. Nineteen typ...

Background Vitamin D (VD) deficiency is common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). VD and its associated factors are understudied Pakistan. This study aimed to estimate the incidence of association microalbuminuria T2DM. Methods descriptive cross-sectional was performed on 110 diagnosed T2DM aged between 30 65 years outpatient department clinic Benazir Bhutto Hospital, Rawalpindi,...

OBJECTIVES To describe independent predictors for the development of microalbuminuria and progression to macroalbuminuria in those with childhood onset type 1 diabetes. DESIGN Prospective observational study with follow-up for 9.8 (SD 3.8) years. SETTING Oxford regional prospective study. PARTICIPANTS 527 participants with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes at mean age 8.8 (SD 4.0) years. M...
