Correlation of HbA1c with urinary ACR, serum creatinine and eGFR in type-2 diabetes mellitus at Puducherry, South India

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a major emerging clinical health problem in this world. Anemia is a common problem in diabetes. Type 2 DM comprises about 90% of diabetic population of any country.Methods: A cross-sectional study carried out among 125 type 2 diabetic mellitus patients’ area at Department of Medicine Aarupadai Veedu Medical college (AVMC) and hospital, Puducherry during the period from May 2018 to October 2018.The objectives of the study were to evaluate the association of HbA1c with urinary ACR, eGFR and serum creatinine in Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Data was analyzed using the SPSS version 20.0 software.Results: The randomly selected study group comprised 100 type 2 DM patients and 25 control peoples of 35-70 years of age. Type 2 DM patients were evaluated of HbA1c, normotensives or hypertensives. FBS, serum creatinine, urinary albumin and creatinine were estimated. Urinary ACR and eGFR and were calculated. The data result was expressed as mean and standard deviation. A probability value is less than 0.05 and it was considered statistically significant.Conclusions: Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, HbA1c and duration of diabetes were the strongest predictors of micro albuminuria and age was the strongest predictors of a low eGFR. The diabetes was poorly controlled, making the progression to end stage renal failure in concern patients. They measure the prevention of urinary albumin excretion, development of renal abrasion, smoking termination, strict glycaemic control and initiating lipid lowering therapy
