Abstract 

The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors for albuminuria among 447 type 2 diabetic patients in three Gulf countries. Overall prevalence of albuminuria was 36%, which is similar to that reported in other DEMAND studies and was strongly related to poor glycemic control.
