Abstract:Background:
Screening for early detection of microalbuminuria signaling kidney disease should begin as early as the time of diagnosis of youth-onset type 2 diabetes. This quality improvement initiative aimed to standardize urine nephropathy screening in pediatric patients with type 2 diabetes at a tertiary academic medical center and increase a baseline screening rate of 56%–75% over 6 months (September 2022–February 2023) and sustain that increase for 6 months (March through August 2023).
