title: Microalbuminuria in a diabetic population.
abstract: The aim of the report is to define that diabetic population which is to be recognised as at imminent, and possibly reversible, risk of diabetic nephropathy. The prevalence of 0.63% of diabetes in the Mosgiel practice population is confirmed. Of the 84 diabetics studied eight (9.5%) had proteinuria and an additional nine (10.7%) had microalbuminuria. The means of quantification of microalbuminuria as the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio has been documented for a New Zealand population.
