Key result
The prevalence of microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetic patients was 14.2%, which significantly correlated with diastolic blood pressure (P=0.003) and duration of diabetes (P=0.000).

What is the prevalence of microalbuminuria and its risk factors in type 2 diabetic patients?
Microalbuminuria is present in 14.2% of type 2 diabetic patients and is significantly associated with higher diastolic blood pressure and longer duration of diabetes.
Afkhami‐Ardekani et al. (2008) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes (n=288). Diastolic blood pressure and duration of diabetes was evaluated on Prevalence of microalbuminuria. The prevalence of microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetic patients was 14.2%, which significantly correlated with diastolic blood pressure (P=0.003) and duration of diabetes (P=0.000).
