PETALING JAYA: More than a third of Type 2 diabetics in Malaysia – who have a minute amount of protein in their urine – have early kidney and heart problems. 

This was indicated in a global campaign, which showed that of 266 Type 2 diabetics screened last month in Malaysia , 36.8% had microalbuminuria (MAU), a condition where very small amounts of albumin – a type of protein normally found in the blood – are present in the urine.
