Prevalencia de microalbuminuria en una población de diabéticos / Prevalence of microalbuminuria in a diabetic population

RESUMO

The level of microabuminuria is considered an important marker for the early diagnosis and prediction of prognosis for long-term complications of Diabetes mellitus...The difference observed for the whole population must be ascribed to the female population, since for the male population there were no significant differences in such prevalence. A future and more ample study seems to be necessary in order to interpret if this difference can be realted to risk factors involving the gender profile for de development of microalbuminuria
