Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the levels of Serum uric acid (SUA) and microalbuminuria in Healthy, Newly Diagnosed (N.D.) type 2 Diabetics and in N.D. type 2 Diabetics with hypertension.

Method: Cross sectional study involving a total of 343 Individuals of Bengaluru, India from January 2018 to November 2019 were considered for the study. Venous blood and 24-hour urine sample were collected from 100 healthy, 170 N.D. type 2 Diabetics, 73 N.D. type 2 Diabetics with hypertension and analyzed for Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) SUA and microalbuminuria along with their demographic details.

Results: There was significant increase in SUA levels and microalbuminuria in N.D. Type 2 Diabetics with hypertension compared to healthy and N.D. type 2 Diabetics.

Conclusion: Hypertensive Diabetics should be monitored periodically for SUA and microalbuminuria to prevent them from developing renal complication.
