Abstract:
Microproteinuria is an early sign of clinical diabetic nephropathy, and it also has the power to predict cardiovascular mortality in both types of diabetes. In order to investigate this last aspect, we have analyzed serum lipids in diabetes type I and II (128 male patients) with or without microproteinuria [determined using MICRAL/TEST (Boerhinguer M)]. The results revealed the following: hypertriglycerinemia and a low HDL-Cholesterol level in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus together with hypercholesterolemia in non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. It seems that both microproteinuria as well as hyperlipidemiain diabetes mellitus reflect a generalizes vascular lesion.
