[Proteinuria in diabetic disease].

In 397 patients with primitive diabetes mellitus the authors evaluate the incidence of the disprotidemic pattern, behaviour of total utinary protein excretion/24/hours, renal function, glycosilated hemoglobin and oedema. This epidemiologic research shows that more attention must be placed on the evaluation of the plasma protein electrophoretic pattern and behaviour of plasma glycosilated hemoglobin. Clinical and physiopathological implications are discussed.
