Abstract | UNLABELLED: OBJECTIVE, METHOD: Chronic kidney disease is a major public health problem. This observational epidemiological study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of proteinuric nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes consulting a community-based general practitioner in French overseas departments and territories (DOM-TOM). Screening was carried out with reagent strips Albustix for proteinuria and, in case of trace amounts or a negative result, Microalbustix for microalbuminuria. RESULTS: 91 general practitioners participated in the study with 402 evaluable patients (54% female, mean age 60.1 +/- 11.2 years). The duration of diabetes was 8.9 +/- 6.6 years and mean HbA1c was 7.3 +/- 1.4% (52.2% with HbA1c < or = 7%). Screening was positive for 45.7% of the patients: 23.6% positive for proteinuria with Albustix [95% CI: 19.5-27.8] and 22.1% with Microalbustix. CONCLUSION:
