Abstract: Background: Diabetic nephropathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus type2. Glycated albumin level increase in states of abnormally high glucose concentration in diabetes mellitus. The increase in concentration glycated albumin plays role in diabetic nephropathy through stimulation of collagen and fibronectin expression in mesangial cell. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the roles of the serum glycated albumin as predictor of diabetic nephropathy with type2 diabetic patients with normal albuminuria , micro albuminuria and comparing them with normal healthy subjects . Method : This study was conducted in Medical City, Baghdad Teaching Hospital during the period from December 2015 to June 2016.The study included (90) subjects with age range between (30 – 56) years, divided in to three groups , 30 healthy control, 30 type 2 diabetic mellitus patients with normal albuminuria (micro albumin < 30 μg/ml ) and 30 type2 diabetic mellitus patients with micro albuminuria (micro albumin >30 μg/ml )...............
