Abstract

Background: Diabetes is one of the largest health emergencies of the 21st century. In future there will not only be increase in the incidence and prevalence of diabetes but also there will be an increase in economic burden, disability and life years lost due to disease. Microalbuminuria is used as predictor for early micro and macrovascular changes in diabetes.

Objectives: The objectives wereto find the interrelationship between the known risk factors of microalbuminuria among diabetic patients.

Methodology: A descriptive cross sectional study was carried out in the urban field practice area of urban health centre between October 2015 and July 2016, among 200 study participants who had type II diabetes mellitus.

Results: The prevalence of microalbuminuria among the study participants was 41.5%.  According to Structural equation modelling, Age, duration of diabetes, duration of hypertension, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were found to influence the occurrence of microalbuminuria in type II diabetes mellitus patients

Conclusion: An intensive education of patients as well as general practitioners on microalbuminuria, risk factors and their interactions were mandatory to prevent various complications.

Keywords: Microalbuminuria, Type II diabetes mellitus, duration of diabetes, duration of hypertension
