Background: One of the most significant complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is diabetic nephropathy, the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Another important clinical marker in patients with type 2 diabetes is QTc interval prolongation. We aimed to study the association between QTc interval prolongation and microalbuminuria in patients with T2DM. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to examine the association between QTc interval prolongation and microalbuminuria in patients with T2DM. The secondary objective was to correlate the prolongation of the QTc interval with the duration of T2DM. Materials and methods: This study was conducted as a single-centre, case control study. Patients aged more than 18 with T2DM with and without microalbuminuria were recruited into the study and control groups, and various parameters, including QTC intervals, were recorded. Results: A total of 100 patients were enrolled in the study, with 50 patients with microalbuminuria forming the study group and 50 patients without microalbuminuria forming the control group. There was a statistically significant association between microalbuminuria with a prolonged QTc interval, a longer duration of T2DM, higher haemoglobinAIc (HbA1c) levels, and higher serum creatinine values.
