The incidence of proteinuria among diabetic patients in relation to the level of glycated Hb, duration of the disease types of treatment in Thi-Qar province

A prospective study had been conducted in diabetic and endocrine center of Nassiriyah city from January to March year 2015. A total of 100 patients with different ages were included in this study. All of them were diagnosed as diabetic patients and have been selected randomly. In this study we proved that there was a very strong effect of the level of HbA1c duration of DM on the incidence of albuminuria. Also researcher found that patients who were on oral hypoglycemic treatment therapy develop albuminuria more than those who were on insulin treatment. Microalbuminurea was present in patient with longer DM history (around 10 years). This result correlates well with documented evidence that diabetic nephropathy usually occur after 10_15 years after diagnosis of DM.
