Key result
South Asian ethnicity was associated with a significantly higher risk of overt proteinuria compared to white European ethnicity in patients with type 2 diabetes (8% vs 3%; OR 2.17; 95% CI 1.05-4.49).

p-value: p=0.0365
UK residents of south Asian ethnicity with type 2 diabetes have a significantly higher risk of overt proteinuria compared to white Europeans, suggesting faster progression of renal dysfunction.
Raymond et al. (2011) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=1,978). South Asian ethnicity vs. White European ethnicity was evaluated on Overt proteinuria (OR 2.17, 95% CI 1.05-4.49, p=0.0365). South Asian ethnicity was associated with a significantly higher risk of overt proteinuria compared to white European ethnicity in patients with type 2 diabetes (8% vs 3%; OR 2.17; 95% CI 1.05-4.49).
