Correlation of Microalbuminuria with Estimated GFR (eGFR) by Cockcroft-Gault and MDRD Formula in Type 2 Diabetics and XXXX .

@entity1 @entity101 @entity6 @entity2316 @entity1009 @entity740 @entity164 @entity1011
Increase in urine albumin excretion rate (AER) precede a fall in glomerular filtration rate in @entity1 developing @entity2316 ( @entity740 ). Our results have shown that 7 (50  %) of @entity6 and @entity101 individuals with decreased GFR do not have increased AER. In this cross-sectional study, we measured AER of 75 @entity1 with @entity164 2 @entity6 and @entity101 by immunoturbidimetric method. We correlated the results with eGFR values obtained by Cockcroft-Gault and MDRD method. The method used was not a compensated method. We measured serum @entity1011 by modified Jaffe's kinetic method in autoanalyzer XL-600. Analysis of data showed positive correlation between eGFR and microalbuminuria by both the methods with eGFR <60  mL/ @entity1009 .73  m(2). Pearson's correlation co-efficient (r) was 0.9 (p  =  0.0001) by Cockcroft-Gault formula and 0.69 (p  =  0.0063) by MDRD formula. Our results concluded that there was positive correlation between AER and eGFR <60  mL/ @entity1009 .73  m(2). We have recognized that these two parameters provide a complimentary benefit in management of cases with @entity740 .
