Abstract

 

Objectives:The aim of our study is to measure the urine albumin excretion in apparently  healthy adults, to find out the prevalence of elevated urine albumin excretion and to correlate  urine albumin excretion with anthropometric  parameters.

Methods: For this, Cross sectional study was conducted where healthy adults of age group   35-50 years were taken. Systolic, diastolic blood pressures, fasting plasma glucose, 2hr  post  prandial glucose, serum urea, serum creatinine, serum cholesterol, serum HDL cholesterol, serum LDL cholesterol, estimated creatinine clearance, body mass index, body surface  area, mid arm circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference, wasit:hip ratio, mid thigh  circumference, mid calf circumference,  urine albumin, urine creatinine, urine albumin  creatinine ratio were measured. The relationship between urine albumin creatinine ratio and  the individual anthropometric measures were studied using spearman rank correlation  analysis.

Results: Two out of fifty four participants had a urine albumin creatinine ratio in excess of  30microg/mg which signifies microalbuminuria. This corresponds  to a prevalence of  3.7%.Urine albumin creatinine ratio correlated positively with the waist circumference and  waist hip ratio. The relationship with other anthropometric measures were negative. None  of  them found to be significant.
