AB  - We studied 120 newly diagnosed diabetes
mellitus type 2 patients for detection of microalbuminuria
through the dipstick method. Only patients who were
diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type 2 at the time of
admission were included in the study. Known diabetics
were excluded. Early morning midstream urine is taken
for sampling. HbA1c in females was higher and more
statistically significant than males. Blood urea and serum
creatinine levels too were noted to be slightly higher in
patients with microalbuminuria as compared to those who
did not have microalbuminuria diabetic retinopathy was
seen in 25% of patients with microalbuminuria.
Microalbuminuria was associated with abnormal HDL
levels but normal LDL levels. A total of 7.5% patients
who had microalbuminuria had an increased serum
cholesterol level and 22.5% were noted to have an
increased triglyceride level.
