Microalbuminuria in diabetics with coronary heart disease

ABSTRACT

Microalbuminuria was determined in 40 patients with type II diabetes mellitus [10 without coronary heart disease [group I] and 30 with CHD [group II]] before and after exercise, using automated immunoprecipitin analysis. Microalbuminuria in group I showed significant increase before [P <0.05] and after exercise [P <0.001] when compared with control. Diabetic group with CHD showed significant increase in microalbuminuria before and after exercise [P <0.05]. Both patients in group I and group II showed in significant changes in microalbuminuria before and after exercise [P >0.05]. However, these results were obtained from a small number of selected diabetic patients with or without coronary heart disease
