Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a growing health problem with a significant global disease burden. The complications and mortality rate associated with diabetes are increasing. Albuminuria is one of its complications and evidence of established nephropathy. Low toe–brachial index (TBI) is more strongly associated with albuminuria and may be a suitable tool for evaluating peripheral arterial disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our study evaluated the association between macro albuminuria and low toe brachial index in type 2 diabetic patients to identify those who need specialized foot care and adequate renal protection.
