Aims: Increased plasma fibrinogen considered as one of the underlying complications caused by type 2 diabetic, proteins overproduction is associated with albuminuria in non-dibetic individuals. It is not known whether the presence of albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with greater albumin and fibrinogen production rates, so the present study was designed to inve...

In patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), microalbuminuria is a predictor of widespread severe microangiopathy and macroangiopathy. Patients with microalbuminuria show generalized dysfunction of the vascular endothelium, but it is unknown whether endothelial dysfunction precedes the development of microalbuminuria. We examined a cohort of 17 IDDM patients at baseline and on t...

BACKGROUND Microalbuminuria is a marker of early kidney disease and high cardiovascular risk in various populations, including HIV positive patients. However, the diagnostic value of qualitative (dipstick) proteinuria and the burden of microalbuminuria in HIV positive patients living in sub-Saharan Africa are relatively unclear. METHODS In a cross-sectional study, 235 HIV- positive outpatient...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) has a lot of complications such as macrovessel and microvessel disease. Another complication of DM is cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN), which have effect on automatic nervous system of heart. Failure in heart rate slowing after exercise is a presentation of this abnormality. METHODS We selected diabetic patients and divided them to case and control group ba...

Background Non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated with significantly increased risk for myocardial infarction. Heart rate recovery (HRR), a measure of autonomic function, is a strong predictor of all-cause mortality. Microalbuminuria, a marker of early arterial disease, is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality. We aimed to investigate HRR and d...

BACKGROUND Microalbuminuria is known to be a harbinger of serious complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Since medical intervention at the onset of microalbuminuria can be critical in reducing these adverse outcomes, it is widely agreed that type 2 diabetic patients should be screened for microalbuminuria. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate Micral test strips in conjunction wit...

Early identification of patients at risk of developing diabetic nephropathy is essential. Elevated serum concentrations of soluble urokinase receptor (suPAR) associate with diabetes mellitus and predict onset and loss of renal function in chronic kidney disease. We hypothesize, that suPAR may be an early risk indicator for diabetic nephropathy, preceding microalbuminuria. The relationship of ba...

Microalbuminuria—abnormally high amounts of albumin in the urine— is commonly thought of as an important risk factor for kidney disease. But recently, studies have emerged highlighting microalbuminuria as an important, independent marker for endothelial dysfunction and CVD. Heightened awareness of microalbuminuria as an early prognostic indicator of CVD risk, knowing when, how, and in whom to s...

Background: This study was devised to evaluate the predictive value of neutrophilto- lymphocyte ratio (NLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) detect microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetic patients. can help early detection assessment prognosis inn patients suffering from diabetes mellitus (DM). Aims Objectives: The objectives were assess diagnostic accuracy u...
