Correlación entre Microalbuminuria y el Cociente Albúmina/Creatinina para el Diagnóstico de Insuficiencia Renal en Pacientes con Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

This work was carried out by means of a quantitative research, mixed (camp - lab) has had direct contact with patients by applying techniques such as surveys and quantitative tests whose results have allowed us to know the sensitivity of the used tests thus determining the most appropriate method for the diagnosis of kidney failure and thus to meet the objectives set, this research was developed with patients who come to the Hospital San Pedro de Pelileo diabetics Club during the period October 2015 - March 2016 prior informed consent.

For research was taken as general objective to determine the correlation between microalbuminuria and albumin/creatinine ratio and validate it as an indicator of renal damage in patients with diabetes mellitus and specific objectives to determine the values of microalbuminuria in patients with diabetes mellitus, establish the albumin/creatinine ratio in patients with diabetes mellitus and correlating values of microalbuminuria and albumin/creatinine ratio to determine the stage of kidney failure.

The study was carried out through the determination of Microalbuminuria in 24-hour urine and ratio /creatinina in morning urine albumin 60 patients who attended Club diabetics of the Hospital San Pedro de Pelileo in the study period, through blood and urine tests to determine Renal failure, which resulted in that of the entire population in study 55 patients with the disease which corresponds to the 91.7% in this way We conclude that there is a direct correlation between Microalbuminuria in 24-hour urine and morning urine albumin/creatinine ratio, showing that the latter is indicative diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy and renal damage in general
