Abstract：To observe the relationship between urine albumin excretion rate and bone density in patients with diabetes mellitus.According to urine albumin excretion rate（AER），106 diabetes patients were divided into three groups，normal albumin（AER＜20g／min），microalbumin（20g／min＜AER＜200g／min）and macroalbumin（AER＞200g／min），measured three groups’bone mineral density（BMD）.Results showed that the BMD of lumbar spines（2～4）and femoral neck and G.T and Ward’s triangle were significantly lower in diabetic patients than in controls（P＜0.01）expect for lumbar spines（2～4）in normal albumin and microalbumin group of male patients.Futhermore，in diabetes patients BMD was significantly lower in macroalbumin than in normal albumin and microalbumin groups（P＜0.05）.This suggest the BMD in diabetic nephropathy is decreased，which is more remarkble in the group with macroalbuminuria than in normal albuminuria and microalbuminuria groups
