Abstract | ||||
Introduction: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major microvascular complication of diabetes. It affects 30% of the world population of T1D. DN is a serious complication and is responsible for significant morbidity. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of this complication in T1D patients consulting at the department of diabetology-endocrinology and metabolic diseases of the university hospital center (UHC) of Sidi Bel-abbes, Algeria. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study of DN in T1D patients of Sidi Bel-abbes UHC. It was carried out over a period of eight years, from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2020, involving 341 T1D patients. The judgment criteria were: positive microalbuminuria, positive macroalbuminuria and IRCT estimated by a GFR below 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. The data were collected from files using a questionnaire and analyzed by the SPSS software, version 20. Results: 341 T1D patients were included, sex ratio M/F equal to 0.99. The mean creatinine was 9.23 ± 4.93 mg/L (5.13 to 48 mg/L). Renal function was impaired in 44 (12.90%). As for glomerular filtration rate (GFR), 97 (28.5%) T1D patients had a GFR less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m². 33 (9.6%) T1D patients had microalbuminuria, 51 (15%) had macroalbuminuria and 06 (1.8%) patients had hyperuricemia. The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) was 12.9% and that of DN)was 24.60%. Conclusion: DN is one of the most harmful complications of T1D that leads to renal failure. This study showed that 24.6% of the cases studied developed DN. | ||||
