Background: Urinary microRNAs (miRNAs) play a role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD).Aim: To identify the expression of urinary miR-377 and miR-216a in 50 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) compared with 50 healthy controls and assess their relation to the degree of albuminuria, glycemic control and carotid intimal thickness (CIMT) as an index of atherosclerosis.Methods: Diabetic subjects were divided into normoalbuminuric and microalbuminuric groups according to urinary albumin creatinine ration (UACR). Urinary miRNAs were assessed using real time polymerase chain reaction. CIMT was measured using high resolution carotid ultrasound.Results: The expression of urinary miR-377 was significantly higher in patients with microalbumiuria (median, 3.8) compared with 2.65 and 0.98 in normoalbuminic patients and healthy controls, respectively (p
