Background and purpose: Diabetes is one the most common metabolic disease. 4.5-6% of Ïranian and 14.2% of Yazd people suffer from diabetes. Microalbuminuria occure before the developement of nephropathy, hence if detected at an early stage, effective therapy can be implemented by normalizaing of glycemia, strict blood pressure control and administration of ÂÇË inhibitors. The aim of this stu...

Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic diseases. The prevalence of diabetes, which is around 4.5 - 6% in Iran, reaches as high as 14.2% in population of age 30 years and over in Yazd. Microalbuminuria is diagnosable before development of nephropathy and could be detected at an early stage when effective therapy can still be carried out. In this stage near normalization of blood glucose, s...

Introduction: The urinary excretion of minimal quantities of albumin (microalbuminuria) is predictive of renal failure and cardiovascular mortality. The detection and prompt treatment of microalbuminuria is crucial to the prevention and progress of renal failure in patients with diabetes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relative frequency of microalbuminuria in different age groups o...

Introduction: Microalbuminuria is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is associated with all-cause mortality. The present study aimed to investigate the possible association between different types and amounts of dietary protein and microalbuminuria among Iranian adults participating in the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS). Materials and Methods: Adults (1192 men and ...

Background: Hypertention and diabetes are important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. studies have shown that microalbuminuria is a strong predictor of cardiov-ascular disease in different population.In this study the relation of microalbuminuria with diabetes and hypertention as risk factors of atherosclerosis disease were investi-gated. Methods: Two hundered twenty eight patients with ...

Background and purpose: Diabetes mellitus due to impaired insulin secretion, leads to short term and long term complications. Some of these complications are diabetic nephropathy and renal failure. The prevalence of diabetic nephropathy is 20-30% in Iran and 20% of type II diabetes and 75% of type I diabetes are affected in 20 years. Microalbuminuria has utmost importance as a marker of renal d...

Background: Microalbuminuria represents the earliest clinical of renal involvement and reflects the progression of diabetic nephropathy and increased risk of mortality in diabetic patients. The incidence of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetes differs widely by race .The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of and risk factors for microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetic patients. ...
