%X The microalbuminuria (¦ÌAlb) represents an early sign of kidney lesion and a general marker of endothelial damage, which increases to the extent that this baseline hyperglycemia or type 2 diabetes mellitus. The ¦ÌAlb was significantly associated with the premature death of cardiovascular origin, rather than the progression of end-stage renal damage. The objective of this research was to relate intype 2 diabetics different cardiovascular risk factors with the presence of ¦ÌAlb. This was a descriptive, cross sectional, that included 224 patients with an age range between 37 and 88 years (58.4 ¡À 9.8 years), of which 127 (56.7%) had ¦ÌAlb and 26.7% of they were also treated hypertensives. No significant difference when comparing glycemic control among diabetics with ¦ÌAlb (6.8 ¡À 1.17%) and without ¦ÌAlb (6.4 ¡À 3.04%).The time course of the disease was between 5 to 10 years (58%) and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) was observed by 48%. It showed significant association between the ¦ÌAlb and abdominal circumference (AC), systolic blood pressure, body mass index, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and MetS. Of these factors, the most influential variable for the presence of ¦ÌAlb was the AC. It reiterates the inclusion in the clinical practice of determining uAlb in patients with type 2 diabetes, as a marker of cardiovascular risk and according to the results of the regression model further benefit diabetic with abdominal obesity uAlb
