Abstract
Introduction The microalbuminuria is defined as urinary excretion rate of albumin is between 20 gmin and 200 gmin or between 30 mg24 hrs and 299 mg24 hrs Proteinuria as well as microalbuminuria are independent predictors of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with essential hypertension Microalbuminuria is an early marker of diabetic nephropathy Early recognition of microalbuminuria in diabetic nephropathypermits successful therapeutic intervention and significant postponement of terminal renal failureAim The purpose of present study was to evaluate the prevalence of microalbuminuria in patients with diabetes and hypertension and to check relationship between severity of hypertension with extent of renal dysfunction and its associated coronary artery disease and target organ damageMaterials and Methods This retro prospective study was conducted in central clinical laboratory of pathology department at Sir Takhatsinhji General Hospital attached with Government Medical College Bhavnagar Gujarat India In present study we included 100 participants of both sexes having diabetes and hypertension We also included 25 normal healthy nondiabetics nonhypertensive people as control groupResults Duration of diabetes in all patients varies from 6 to 25 years All patients were positive for microalbuminuria in diabetes ranging from 1620 years Most of the patients 80 were having hypertension for more than 75 years were positive for microalbuminuriaConclusion Micral test is a rapid simple reliable and cost effective diagnostic tool for detection of microalbuminuria Blood pressure blood glucose serum creatinine and serum cholesterol levels are significantly higher in microalbuminuria patients Hence the elevations in diabetic patients mark the need for Micral test for detection of early renal involvementKeywords Diabetes Hypertension Microalbuminuria LVH
