10.22376/ijpbs.2019.10.1.p1-12 Volume 7 Issue 3 2016 (July - September) Smoking increases the risk of renal disease and progresses to end stage renal disease. We therefore performed a population based study at Gandhi Medical College/Gandhi Hospital, Secunderabad in which we studied the relation between smoking and urinary albumin excretion. Smokers had a higher urinary albumin excretion (Albumin excretion 384 ± 12.8 mg / day: P lessThan 0.01) than those who do not smoke. In conclusion smoking is associated with albuminuria. Dr. A.
