[Relation between urinary albumin excretion and retinopathy in insulin-dependent diabetics]. 1986

M Marre, and H Leblanc, and D Bruel, and M Leroy, and P Passa

To study the relationship between retinal and renal microangiopathy, the albumin excretion rate (AER) was measured by radioimmunoassay in 111 insulin-dependent diabetics and compared to their stages of retinopathy, as assessed by ophthalmoscopic examination and fluorescein angiography. The prevalence of pathological AER differed from that of diabetic retinopathy. The stage of retinopathy was related to the duration of diabetes (r = 0.59; P = 0.001), which was not the case for AER (r = 0.06; ns). Half of patients with proliferative retinopathy (11/22) had a normal AER, while 12% of those without retinopathy had a pathological AER (microalbuminuria). No relationship was found between glycaemic control and AER. The highest prevalence of hypertension was found in patients with macroalbuminuria (greater than 500 mg/24 h) and/or severe retinopathy. The mean AER was higher in hypertensive diabetics than in non-hypertensive diabetics (P less than 0.005). These results suggest that the risk of retinopathy is dissociated from the risk of glomerulopathy in diabetics, and that hypertension associates with diabetes mellitus in a greater risk of pathological AER.

D003922	Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1	A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D006442	Glycated Hemoglobin	Products of non-enzymatic reactions between GLUCOSE and HEMOGLOBIN (occurring as a minor fraction of the hemoglobin of ERYTHROCYTES.) It generally refers to glycated HEMOGLOBIN A. Hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) is hemoglobin A with GLYCATION on a terminal VALINE of the beta chain. Glycated hemoglobin A is used as an index of the average blood sugar level over a lifetime of erythrocytes.
