Study of Microalbuminuria amonog Type 2 Diabetic Patients in Mogadishu-Somalia

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia caused by insulin secretion defects. Both type 1and type 2DM can cause chronic diabetic nephropathy complication. The early stage of nephropathy si detected yb MAU test, when urinary albumin excretion (UAE) is 30-300mg/24h, or 20-200mg / min.
Objective: This study aims to assess the prevalence of microalbuminuria among type 2 diabetic patients.
Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted at Ummah hospital, Mogadishu, Somalia during September 2019 to August 2020. Atotal of 50 clean random urine samples were collected from diabetic patients and then tested through urine analysis investigation following the standard procedure Albumin and creatinine tests were performed for albumin creatinine radio (ACR) method. The study used SPSS (version 20.0) for analysis, and results were presented in frequencies, percentage, and bar charts.
Results: 31 (62%) were normoalbuminuric while 19(38%) were microalbuminuria out of the total 50 samples collected, 3lwere normal with 28 control and 3uncontrol while 19 were abnormal with 4 control and 15 uncontrol, 3Iwere normal with duration <5 (13), 5-10 (15) and >10 (3) while 19 were abnormal with duration <5 (4), 5-10 (2) and > 10 (13)
Conclusion: The results from the study showed high the prevalence of microalbuminuria 38%, Microalbuminuria exhibits a direct relationship with increased duration of mellitus diabetes, Uncontrol of diabetic increase level of microalbuminuria, recommend annual microalbuminuria screening from the early diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and early treatment where microalbuminuria si
found.
