Introduction: One of the most prevalent manifestations of CKD (chronic kidney disease), which can progress to ESRD (end-stage renal disease), is diabetic kidney disease.Usually, ten to fourteen years prior to the onset of overt diabetic nephropathy, microalbuminuria is present.At this stage, diabetic nephropathy can either be reversed or its advancement stopped.Aims/ objective: To assess the correlation of microalbuminuria with glycaemic control and other demographic and clinical parameters. Materials and Method:A total of 100 patients were included in the study.The patients were requested to submit a clean catch, midstream urine sample from their first morning void the day following the appointment, and the samples were sent for urine albumin: creatinine ratio.(UACR).Microalbuminuria was defined as UACR -30 -300 mg/g.HbA1c 8.0% was defined as poor glycaemic control.Results: Patients with microalbuminuria had significantly greater age, greater duration of type 2 diabetes, greater body mass index and lower eGFR as compared to normoalbuminuric patients (p 8.0% as compared to only 23.81% in normoalbuminuric patients (p<0.05).Patients with microalbuminuria had significantly higher level of triglyceride and low level of HDL as compared to normoalbuminuric patients (p<0.0001). Conclusion:Microalbuminuria was significantly related to older age, greater duration of diabetes, lower eGFR levels and poor glycaemic control.
