[Albuminuria in diabetes mellitus]
Abstract
A critical overview on different procedures and methods for an early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy is given. Genetic markers, morphology and function of glomerula, blood pressure and the metabolic state of diabetics are especially discussed. From the risk markers available today microalbuminuria (20 to 200 micrograms/min resp. 20 to 200 mg/l) is shown to be most suitable for recognizing patients developing nephropathy.
