Abstract
This study was involved with determining the prevalence of diabetic nephropathy in 72 Turkish children with insulin-Dependent diabetes mellitus. Diabetic nephropathy was diagnosed with blood pressure levels, glomerular filtration rate, albumin excretion rate, ?-2 microglobulinuria and kidney length. There wereo significant differences between laboratory data for boys and girls, but adolescent patients had significantly higher albumin excretion rates than preadolescent patients (p
