Glycated hemoglobin and microalbuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by Afrim Zeqiraj, Dafina Zeqiraj, Teuta MullaGoga, Fidel Krasniqi, Agim Shabani, Sanije Berisha, Agim Berisha, Blerim Morina, Florjana Zogaj

“…From the analyzes made between the patients under study and the control group, we obtained high results to a significant degree in these parameters: HbA1c (p < 0.001), triglycerides (p < 0.04), microalbumins (p < 0.001), body mass index (p < 0.03). Conclusions. Increasing levels of microalbuminuria in diabetic patients worldwide and in ours will be an immediate requirement for microalbuminuria tests to be routinely performed in addition to HbA1c by all health institutions for better surveillance of patients in order to prevent the deterioration of their health status.…”
