EVALUATION OF URINARY MICROALBUMIN LEVELS IN TYPE 1 DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE GLYCEMIC CONTROL

Aims: To evaluate the urinary microalbumin levels in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in association with the glycemic control.
Methodology: 100 subjects were enrolled (50 controls and 50 type 1 diabetic patients) with age and sex matched. 50 Type 1 diabetic patients were grouped into 3 based on their glycemic status. Venous blood and urine is collected for the estimation of the urinary microalbumin, serum creatinine, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c.
Results: The present study received significant correlations between MA and HbA1c with their respective controls with p –value < 0.005. The difference of means between Group 2 and Group 3 is statistically significant, and between Group 1 and Group 3 is also statistically significant (p value <0.05).
Conclusion: The present study stated that urinary microalbumin was found to be higher in type 1 DM. The raised MA levels are found to be associated with poor glycemic control in Type 1 diabetes mellitus.
