In this study renal function, microalbuminuria, and HbA1
excretion was measured in 92 newly-diagnosed patients with type
II diabetes. By multivariate analysis, current smoking, but not
past smoking, was the single most-important predictor of an
elevated urinary albumin excretion (UAE), with a relative risk of
7.0! The degree of glycemic control was far less important, with
an odds ratio of only 2.0. No relation between UAE and current
blood pressure was found. These findings suggest that smoking
may be of very great importance in leading to progression of
renal disease in type II diabetes.
