Helicobacter pylori seropositivity in diabetic patients is associated with microalbuminuria

Figure 1 The rate of Helicobacter pylori seropositivity according to the urinary albumin to creatinine ratio in diabetic subjects. The subjects were divided into five groups: subjects without microalbuminuria were divided into four groups in accordance with their urine albumin to creatinine ratio values, and subjects with microalbuminuria comprised their own group: Q1, < 4.9 μg/mg; Q2, 5.0-7.9 μg/mg; Q3, 8.0-13.9 μg/mg; Q4, 14.0-29.9 μg/mg and microalbuminuria, > 30 μg/mg. H. pylori: Helicobacter pylori.
