| Abstract | ||
| The Study was conducted during the period from March-June 2008 in Mosul city as a case-control study included 60 apparently healthy non-smoker male volunteers as a control group and 60 apparently healthy non diabetic cigarette smoker male volunteers, measuring of serum creatinine and urine Protein/Creatinine (P/C) ratio were done in both groups. Results showed significant elevation (P<0.05) of spot urine P/C ratio in smokers with significant positive correlation with smoking status and no significant differences in age and serum creatinine between two groups, therefore , urine P/C ratio is superior in early detection of subclinical irreversible renal involvement in smokers and it is advisable to introduce it routinely | ||
