Prevalence of diabetic nephropathy of 1 059 cases with type 2 diabetes and its correlated risk factors / 中国糖尿病杂志

ABSTRACT

Opjective To study the prevalence of diabetic nephropathy of type 2 diabetes and its correlated risk factors. Methods 1 059 cases with type 2 diabetes in our university hospital during the period of 1997-2000 were screened for diabetic nephropathy,and its correlated risk factors were analysed. Results The prevalence of diabetic nephropathy and end stage of renal disease were 9.73% and 5.47%, respectively. Hypertension and dyslipidemia characterized with hypertriglycemia and low leve1 of HDL were the main risk factors of type 2 diabetic nephropathy. There was no significant relationship between single-determining HbAlc level and UAER. Conclusion The prevalence of diabetic nephropathy of this study was slightly lower than that reported by other authors in western countries,and the risk factors were consistent with those papers.
