Kidney Diseases in Diabetes

چکیده
The primary constituent of urinary protein in diabetic nephropathy is albumin. Consequently, quantification of urinary albumin excretion is central to any description of diabetic renal disease. Albumin excretion can be determined from timed urine collections, and 24hour, overnight, or even shorter collection periods are used. Measurement of the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio in untimed urine specimens is a convenient alternative way to assess albumin excretion. Because of the relative constancy of urinary creatinine excretion, the albumin-to-creatinine ratio is highly correlated with the timed excretion rate. Several terms are used to describe the level of urinary albumin excreChapter 16
