摘要: Previous studies have reported a marked variation in the prevalence of microalbuminuria type 2 diabetic patients ranging from 7 to 47% (1–13). The could arise ethnic/genetic differences susceptibility (3–11) and methodological issues for investigating prevalence, such as small-sized populations (3,12,13); single clinic–based (8,12); use dipstick method instead quantitative determinations (4,5); or only measurement urinary albumin excretion (UAE) (3–13), whereas multiple measurements been recommended years (14). In terms patients, we performed this study with aim specific ethnicity (i.e., Japanese). had large-sized population, nationwide multicenter-based design, high proportion data availability clinical variables UAE. A cross-sectional was conducted that included 29 medical clinics general practitioners) general/university-affiliated hospitals different areas Japan, using same software incorporate patient records, working group.
