Mean duration of diabetes, BMI and fasting blood glucose was 53.8±48.5 months, 27.9 ± 4.9 kg/m2 and 287.5 ± 158.4 mg/dl, respectively. 24hr urine protein exam showed 607 (70.7%) normal condition and 251 (29.3%) diabetic nephropathy, in which 23.4% had mild type and 5.9% had severe type. Significant relationship were observed between diabetic nephropathy and age of patients (p<0.005), type II diabetes (p<0.003), duration of diabetes (p<0.003), fasting blood sugar (p<0.008) and kind of anti-diabetic drugs (p<0.003), but there was not a relationship between gender and diabetic nephropathy (p=0.345).
