Key result
Microalbuminuria affects ~4% of type 1 diabetics, linked to longer disease duration and higher BP.
Why the study?
The prevalence of microalbuminuria and its clinical characteristics in nonhypertensive type I diabetic patients attending hospital clinics were not well established.
Population
1888 nonhypertensive type I diabetic patients aged 16-60 years attending hospital diabetic clinics
Comparison
Microalbuminuric vs normoalbuminuric patients
Design
Cross-sectional screening study

Should not yet alter screening practices; hypothesis-generating for duration and BP associations in type 1 diabetes.
Cross-Sectional (n=1,888)
In nonhypertensive type I diabetic patients, microalbuminuria has a prevalence of 3.7% and is significantly associated with longer diabetes duration and higher systolic and diastolic blood pressures.
A 1992 study conducted a cross-sectional in Type I Diabetes (n=1,888). Microalbuminuria vs. Normoalbuminuria was evaluated on Prevalence of microalbuminuria (95% CI 2.7-7.6). The prevalence of microalbuminuria in type I diabetic patients was 3.7% (95% CI 2.7-7.6%) and was associated with longer diabetes duration and higher blood pressure.
