[Value of fructosamine test in monitoring of diabetes complicated by proteinuria].

The aim of study was evaluation of fructosamine test in monitoring of diabetes mellitus complicated by proteinuria. Twenty patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus without proteinuria and 20 diabetic (type 1) patients with proteinuria were examined. Absent-present proteinuria was alone differential parameter between these groups. Correlations between past-glycaemia and other indices of diabetes balance as fructosamine, glycated haemoglobin and fructosamine: albumin molal ratio were examined. Results of study suggest that fructosamine test is useless in monitoring diabetes with proteinuria, but fructosamine: albumin molal ratio is a good parameter in monitoring of either: diabetes mellitus without proteinuria and with proteinuria.
