title: [Microalbuminuria in children and adolescents with and without Type-I diabetes mellitus (IDDM)].
abstract: In 73 healthy (group I) and 32 children and juveniles with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM, group II) urinary albumin excretion is determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA). In both groups albumin excretion is observed in every urine sample when measured by RIA (mean +/- SD: group I: 7-19 h: 5.17 +/- 5.28 mg, 19-7 h: 3.86 +/- 4.00 mg, 24 h: 9.03 +/- 8.60 mg; group II: 7-19 h: 6.68 +/- 6.86 mg, 19-7 h: 3.46 +/- 2.82 mg, 24 h: 10.13 +/- 9.25 mg). No significant difference is detected between the values of the two groups. However in diabetic patients a significant difference is observed between diurnal and nocturnal urinary albumin excretion. Microalbuminuria is defined as an albumin excretion above 30 mg/d and is present in 6.9% of the values in group I and in 3.1% in group II. The physiological limits of microalbuminuria in children and juveniles compared to adults and several methods of urine sampling are discussed.
