Evaluation of the Determinants of Microalbuminuria in Type 2 Diabetic Subjects

Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia resulting from a defect in insulin secretion and/or insulin action. When not well controlled, it leads to long-term microangiopathic complications, including diabetic nephropathy. Against this backdrop, we set out to evaluate microalbuminuria and the clinical and biological factors associated with it in subjects with type 2 diabetes. This is a prospective, descriptive study including type 2 diabetic patients well followed at the Mark Sankale Center of the Abass Ndao Hospital in Dakar. Biochemical parameters (microalbuminuria, lipid profile, glycated hemoglobin and fasting blood glucose) were measured using enzymatic techniques with the Cobas 6000/c501® system (Roche, Hitachi, Germany). XLSTAT software was used to evaluate the data, and a value of p
