Abstract
Objective:To determine the frequency of microalbuminuria (MAU) or Moderate Albumin Excretion (MAE) in treatment naïve type II diabetic patients and to compare the frequency of silent myocardial ischemia in treatment naive Type-II diabetic patients with and without microalbuminuria.MethodsIt was a cross sectional survey conducted in theoutpatient Department, Jinnah Hospital Lahore, from 30th May 2015 to 29th November 2015. There were 227 patients, (consecutive treatment naïve type II diabetic patients), presenting to outpatient department were enrolled in the study. MAU/MAE, silent myocardial ischemia and effect modifiers like HbA1C > 7%, smoking pack years and dyslipidemia was determined. MAU/MAE was determined by urinary albumin excretion rate of 30-300 mg/24 hours and included patients underwent exercise tolerance test to diagnose silent myocardial ischemia. Results: Out of total165 patients (72.7%) were male and remaining 62 patients (27.3%) were female. The 54 patients (23.8%) had MAU/MAE. The 44 patients (19.4%) had silent myocardial infarction. When we cross tabulated microalbuminuria with silent myocardial infarction, result were significant. Out of 54 patients with MAU/MAE, 16 cases had silent myocardial infarction.Conclusion:The frequency of microalbuminuria/ Moderate Albumin Excretion in treatment naïve type II diabetic patients was high and associated with the frequency of silent myocardial ischemia in treatment naïve type II diabetic patients with and without MAU MAU/MAE
