Abstract
Aim of the work:
1- Measure urinary α-1 microglobulin & microalbuminuria in diabetic patients.
2- Correlate urinary α-1 microglobulin & microalbuminuria to Glycaemic control and the type of diabetes.
Results of different groups were compared with each other and were summarized as follows:
1- Group I and group II had statistically significant increase in blood sugar when compared to group III (P-value = 0.0001, P-value = 0.0001 respectively).
2- There was a statistically significant increase in Cholesterol (P-value <0.02), Triglycerides (P-value <0.0001), LDL (P-value <0.02), HA1c (P-value = 0.0001) and significant reduction in HDL (P-value = 0.0001) when comparing group II to group III.
3- There was a statistically significant increase in Triglycerides (P-value <0.001), HA1c (P-value = 0.02) and significant reduction in HDL (P-value = 0.0001) when comparing group I to group III.
4- Results of the present study revealed that there was a statistically significant increase in Urinary microalbumin (P-value <0.05 and P-value <0.0001) and Urinary α-1 microglobulin (P-value <0.006 and P-value <0.0001) when comparing group I and II to group III respectively.
5- Microalbumin / Creatinine ratio and α-1 microglobulin / Creatinine ratio were done, results revealed that there was a statistically significant increase in the two ratios (P-value <0.0001 and P-value <0.0001) when comparing group II to group III respectively. Also, there was a statistically significant increase in α-1 microglobulin / Creatinine ratio (P-value <0.02 ) when comparing group I to group III.
