Smoking Habit and Progression of Diabetic Nephropathy

Year: 1998

Type: article

Abstract: The effect of cigarette smoking on the progression of diabetic nephropathy \nwas evaluated cross-sectionally in 155 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mel- \nlitus of at least 5 years duration. Forty-four patients had a smoking habit. There was no \ndifference in the duration of diabetes, mean value of HbA1c, or the prevalence of hyperten- \nsion between the smokers and nonsmokers. However, there was a significant difference in \nthe distribution of a smoking habit among subgroups of diabetic patients with normoal- \nbuminuria, microalbuminuria, and overt proteinuria. Thus, cigarette smoking in patients \nwith diabetes is concluded to be a risk factor for the development of diabetic nephropathy.
