title: [Evaluation of microalbuminuria and lipid profile among type 2 diabetics].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish the respective prevalence of microalbuminuria and dyslipidemia and to evaluate their association with diabetes type 2. ANALYZE DATA: Prospective study of 195 type 2 diabetic subjects (125 women and 70 men) from a hospital in the city of Dakar (Senegal) for a check-up of diabetes. Age and sex were determined ; fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and micro- albuminuria were measured.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In this study, the mean age of patients was 57.9 ± 11.1 years. Age, glycated hemoglobin and microalbuminuria were significantly higher in women than in men (P < 0.01 ; P < 0.03 ; P < 0.01 respectively). The prevalence of microalbuminuria is 48.7% and that of dyslipidemia is 41.1%. Glycated hemoglobin is higher in subjects with microalbuminuria than in patients with normal microalbuminuria with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001). There is a strong correlation (R = 0.82) between glycated hemoglobin and microalbuminuria, 1% increase in HbA1c corresponding approximately to an increase of 39.7 mg/I of microalbuminuria.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Microalbuminuria and dyslipidemia are frequently found in type 2 diabetes, but the pathophysiological mechanisms of the association are not well known.
