Abstract

Albuminuria is a marker of diabetic kidney disease. Raised albuminuria in children and young people with diabetes is associated with an increased risk of microvascular and macrovascular complications. This review provides guidance for paediatricians caring for children and young people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes on screening, investigations and treatments for albuminuria in line with relevant national and international recommendations.
