An observational study in Obesity and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Albuminuria, sponsored by Assiut University. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-06.
Sponsored by Assiut University · Observational
This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate obesity-related indices and albuminuria levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease. Obesity-related indices such as body mass index, waist-to-height ratio, body roundness index, visceral adiposity index, and triglyceride-glucose index are simple measures of body composition and metabolic status.
This observational study will calculate multiple obesity-related indices and measure urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
11,522 studies on the registry are indexed under Obesity; 2,033 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 349 is above the median of 114 across 2,154 observational studies indexed under Obesity.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².
Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.
