Key result
Microalbuminuria affects ~37% of Indian T2D patients, rising with age and disease duration.
Why the study?
The correlation of microalbuminuria with age, sex, duration of diabetes, BMI, and creatinine clearance in type-2 diabetics in the Indian population was not well established.

Does microalbuminuria correlate with age, sex, BMI, and creatinine clearance in Indian patients with type-2 diabetes?
In Indian patients with type-2 diabetes, the prevalence of microalbuminuria is 37% and increases with age and duration of diabetes, but is not affected by BMI or sex.
Chowta et al. (2009) conducted a cross-sectional in Type-2 diabetes mellitus (n=100). Clinical factors (age, sex, BMI, diabetes duration, creatinine clearance) was evaluated on Prevalence of microalbuminuria. The overall prevalence of microalbuminuria in Indian patients with type-2 diabetes was 37%, with incidence increasing significantly with age and duration of diabetes, but not with BMI or sex.
