Özet
Introduction: Hyperglycemia and duration of diabetes are known risk factors for diabetic nephropathy, and the presence of microalbuminuria is a strong indicator of nephropathy. We aimed to examine the relation between Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and urine albumin excretion (UAE) in this study. Material and methods: The association between HbA1c and UAE was evaluated in 57 patients with diabetes mellitus, who had at least 8 years of disease history and 5 years of follow-up. Result: Hb1Ac levels were above the target levels, and UAE levels were significantly increased with duration of disease, which was also associated with diabetic nephropathy. Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, severe glucose control may inhibit progression of diabetic nephropathy.
