Core Tip
Core tip: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Therefore, strategies for early detection are of critical importance. Ambulatory blood pressure measurement is useful for detection of precocious abnormalities in the occurrence of DN and exercise-induced albuminuria has been proposed as a potential predictor of DN. Our study therefore aimed to investigate the relationship between exercise-induced albuminuria and ambulatory blood pressure measurement abnormalities in T1DM Cameroonian adolescents. We found that T1DM patients had higher nocturnal and 24 h blood pressure figures than non-diabetics suggesting that exercise-induced albuminuria could be useful early detection of diabetes kidney injuries in T1DM.
