What is the prevalence of microalbuminuria and its associated risk factors in Saudi adults with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus?
In Saudi adults with Type 1 diabetes, microalbuminuria is highly prevalent (29.6%) and is significantly driven by poor glycemic control and hypertension.
Odds Ratio: 1.7 (95% CI 1.2–2.4)
p-value: p=0.001
Background: Diabetes mellitus is among the most common chronic non-communicable diseases. The development of microalbuminuria in type 1 diabetes increases the risk for renal and cardiovascular disease.
Khalid S Aljabri (Fri,) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (n=334). Hypertension vs. Normotension was evaluated on Microalbuminuria (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.2-2.4, p=0.001). In Saudi adults with type 1 diabetes, microalbuminuria was present in 29.6% of patients and was significantly associated with hypertension (OR 1.7) and higher HbA1c levels.
