In our study, out of 100 patients with type 2 diabetes, 79 patients had microalbuminuria. Out of these, 83.3% (N=75) was having hypomagnesemia (p<0.000) associated with microalbuminuria. Hyperuricemia was seen in 63% (N=63) of the population but 79.4% (N=50) hyperuricemics were associated with microalbuminuria(p<0.000).
Conclusions:
There was a significant microalbuminuria in patients with type 2 DM, with reduced serum Mg levels and elevated serumuric acid levels ascompared with patientswho had serum Mg and uric acid levels withinthe normalrange.
