A study of serum homocystein level and it’s association with lipid profile at a tertiary health care centre
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Biochemistry - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of leading cause of death among the Indians. Hyperhomocysteinemia has been strongly linked to CAD. Lipid profile among the CAD patients shows elevated sr. cholesterol and serum triglycerides. This study was conducted to find any association between lipid profile and serum homocysteine level. Aim and objective: To study the association of lipid profile with homocystin level in patients of coronary artery disease. Methodology: Total 60 patients were studied. Group A participants were CAD patients and Group B were controls. Data was collected with pretested questionnaire. Srhomocysteine and lipid profile form both the groups were collected. Data was analyzed to see association in lipid profile and serum homocysteine level in the patients. Result: Serum Homocysteine level in CAD patients was 21.6±5.42 μmol/L and in control group it was significantly less (11.2±3.5 μmol/L).Serum cholesterol level in hyperhomocysteinemia group(178.6±36.6 μmol/L) was significantly more than the group with lower sr. homocysteine(153.2±21.4 μmol/L) Serum LDL level in group with higher homocysteine (105.21±23.2 μmol/L) was significantly more than the other group (28.43±9.6 μmol/L).
