Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus is one of the health burden in the world. It is a metabolic syndrome leading to many systemic complication. This present study was aimed to assess association of proteinuria in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Total 85 patients with age range of 40 to 90 years were taken randomly, from Kathmandu Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Duwakot.

Objectives: To find out the association of proteinuria in type 2 diabetic patients.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional, prospective study was done in 85 patients with age 40-90 years. All known case of type 2 diabetes were taken. The test for proteinuria was done by qualitative method (coagulation method), using reagent 3% sulphosalicylic acid. In this techniques, 1% reagent was mixed with 3% sample of urine. Grading of proteinuria was obtained by the colour and transparency of sample.

Results: The mean age of the patients were 61.74, standard deviation ±11.46 and maximum age was 90 years and minimum was 40 years. In total patients, 17.6% patients had proteinuria. In this study, female patient showed higher (10.70%) incidence of proteinuria than male (7.05%). But there was no significant relation of proteinuria with increased age.

Conclusion: This study showed 17.6% prevalence of proteinuria in type 2 diabetic cases. The incidence of proteinuria was more common in female than male. No significant relation of proteinuria with gender and age.

Keywords: Coagulation method, Proteinuria, 3% sulphosalicylic acid, Type 2 diabetes.
