Albuminuria status and patterns of dyslipidemia among type 2 diabetes black patients managed at a tertiary health-care hospital: A Post hoc analysis.

Albuminuria status and patterns of dyslipidemia among type 2 diabetes black patients managed at a tertiary health-care hospital: A Post hoc analysis. Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl. 2018 May-Jun;29(3):649-657 Authors: Kajingulu FM, Lepira FB, Mbutiwi FI, Makulo JR, Sumaili EK, Bukabau JB, Mokoli VM, Longo AL, Nseka NM Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases with the development of albuminuria and is related in part to dyslipidemia. The present analysis assessed lipid profile and patterns of dyslipidemia in T2DM patients according to albuminuria status. This was a post hoc analysis of data from 181 T2DM patients seen at a tertiary health-care hospital and enrolled in a cross-sectional study of albuminuria status. Abnormal albuminuria was defined as microalbuminuria [albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) 30-299.9 mg/g] or macro-albuminuria (ACR ≥300 mg/g). Atherogenic dyslipidemia was defined as triglycerides (TGs) ≥150 mg/dL and/or high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c) <40 mg/dL in men and <50 mg/dL in women using international consensus criteria. High levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c), HDL-c, non-HDL-c, TG, and low level of HDL-c were defined according to 2012 American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists' guidelines. Comparisons between T2DM patients with and without abnormal albuminuria were done using Chi-square test, Student's...
