Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Objective: Aim was to identify risk factors for the development and progression of untreated persistent microalbuminuria in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.Design and Methods: A total number of 683 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes recruited from the prospective nationwide German and Austrian diabetes survey (DPV) were included in the analysis. Inclusion criteria were onset of type 1 diabetes under the age of 11 years, diabetes duration of more than one year and continuous follow-up over five years with at least two documented urine analyses per year. Subjects treated with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors were excluded. Risk factors gender, BMI SDS, diabetes duration, HbA1c, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and immigrant status were analysed by logistic regression.Results: At baseline (age 10.5+/-0.1 years, diabetes duration 4.6+/-2.4 years, HbA1c 7.4+/-1.1%) 75.6% of children had normoalbuminuria, 15.7% had intermittent microalbuminuria, 8.6% of subjects had persistent microalbuminuria, and 0.1% had macroalbuminuria. After a follow-up-time of five years, 59.4% of adolescents continued to have normoalbuminuria, 18.4% had progression, 15.2% had regression of microalbuminuria, and in 6.9% of subjects microalbuminuria remained unchanged. We found significant associations between persistent microalbuminuria at baseline and during each year of follow-up (p<0.0001). Logistic regression analysis identified diabetes duration and immigrant status as significant factors for microalbuminuria (p=0.009 and p=0.009).Conclusions: The survey in a real world setting shows that diabetes duration and immigrant status are risk factors for the development and progression of untreated microalbuminuria in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
