Introduction: The aim was to assess albumin: creatinine ratio in type 2 DM patients and its relation to diabetic nephropathy complication.

Materials and methods: This case control study was conducted at Military hospital, (n = 205) diagnosed type 2 DM patients (94 males and 111 females), and ^[n 100^] controls were included. Urinary Albumin: Creatinine ratio, ACR, was estimated by Cobas C-311^® fully automated analyzer.

Results: Type 2 DM patients had higher level of albumin: creatinine ratio than controls p-value (0.000) No significant difference in level of albumin: creatinine ratio between males and females p-value (0.271). Moreover, patients, who received statin drugs showed increase in albumin: creatinine ratio level p-value ^[0.046^] and there was a positive correlation between albumin: creatinine ratio level and duration of disease (r: 0.280, P-value 0.00).

Conclusion: The data suggested that, albumin: creatinine ratio is a useful diagnostic and predictor marker for diabetic nephropathy in type 2 DM patients.
