To study the effect of timing of urine collection in determination of microalbuminuria in
type 2 diabetic patiems, timed urine (night time and daytime) as well as spot urine (first morning
and random morning) samples were collected from 44 type 2 diabetic patients, 21 with norma-
albuminuria and 23 with microalbuminuria. The methods of spot urine albumin expression for
microalbuminuria were also compared between albumin concentration (AC) and albumin to creati-
nine ratio (ACR). Night time albumin excretion rate (AER) was 16 per cent lower and daytime AER
was 13 per cent higher than 24-h AER (p
