| Sumario: | Objectives:
To determine the frequency of micro albuminuria in the middle age and older population of both genders in Peshawar city of Pakistan.
Study Design: Random control study.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out from Jan 2017 to Feb 2017 in Khyber Teaching Hospital (KTH), Peshawar Pakistan.
Material and Methods:
The study was conducted on 118 subjects (Female: 48 & 70 male) aged 45-75 years. Spot urine sample from each subject was quantified for micro albumin and creatinine. The results for micro albuminuria were expressed as ACR (Albumin creatinine ratio/gram of creatinine). Patients were categorized according to ACR results as norm albuminuria (ACR = 20 mg/g Cr), micro albuminuria (ACR = 30–299 mg/g Cr), or macro albuminuria (ACR ≥300 mg/ g Cr).
Results:
The percentage of hypertensive (60%) and macro albuminuria patients (8.33%) were higher in female subjects than the male subjects (hypertensive; 25.71%) and macro albuminuria patients (2.86%). The prevalence of micro albuminuria was higher in male (25.71%) than the female subjects (25%).
Conclusion:
Micro albuminuria was found to be more prevalent in male than in female while macro albuminuria patients were higher in female than in male. |
