ABSTRACT
UNLABELLED OBJECTIVE, METHOD:
Chronic kidney disease is a major public health problem. This observational epidemiological study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of proteinuric nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes consulting a community-based general practitioner in French overseas departments and territories (DOM-TOM). Screening was carried out with reagent strips Albustix for proteinuria and, in case of trace amounts or a negative result, Microalbustix for microalbuminuria.RESULTS:
91 general practitioners participated in the study with 402 evaluable patients (54% female, mean age 60.1 +/- 11.2 years). The duration of diabetes was 8.9 +/- 6.6 years and mean HbA1c was 7.3 +/- 1.4% (52.2% with HbA1c < or = 7%). Screening was positive for 45.7% of the patients 23.6% positive for proteinuria with Albustix [95% CI 19.5-27.8] and 22.1% with Microalbustix.CONCLUSION:
Screening with reagent strips revealed that nearly half the patients had proteinuria or albuminuria, thus confirming the high prevalence of nephropathy in type 2 diabetes patients living in the Dom-Tom and illustrating the need for frequent renal function screening in type 2 diabetics in general medicine for the prevention of chronic kidney disease.
