In a south Indian clinic population, the prevalence of microalbuminuria among type 2 diabetic patients is 36.3%, driven by age, blood pressure, glycemic control, and diabetes duration.
Varghese et al. (2001) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=1,425). Risk factors (age, diastolic blood pressure, glycated haemoglobin, fasting plasma glucose, duration of diabetes) was evaluated on Prevalence of microalbuminuria (urinary albumin excretion >30 mg/g of creatinine) (95% CI 33.8-38.9). The overall prevalence of microalbuminuria in south Indian type 2 diabetic patients was 36.3% (95% CI 33.8-38.9), and was associated with age, diastolic blood pressure, and glycemic control.
