[Microalbuminuria is not a marker of diabetic retinopathy].
Microalbuminuria is considered a good predictor of diabetic nephropathy. In this study over 50% of patients with retinopathy, whatever its severity, did not show microalbuminuria. However, among patients with microalbuminuria, the percentage of retinopathy was significantly increased (75%). It is concluded that with the exception of nephropathy, microalbuminuria is not a good parameter for the detection of other microangiopathic complications of diabetes.
