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. |
