摘要：The microalbuminuria is defined as small quantities of albumin in the urine. It is highly prevalent in type 2 diabetic population and useful to measure the severity of kidney damage. A Poisson and Negative-binomial model have been applied for studying the presence of microalbuminuria in urine among the type 2 diabetes patients. The effect of drug treatment viz. (i) Metformin with Pioglitazone and (ii) Pioglitazone with Gliclazide, have been compared in a clinical trial of type 2 diabetes patients in the present study. It has been found that Metformin with Pioglitazone is more effective to reduce the microalbuminuria as compared to Pioglitazone with Gliclazide.
