A Study On Renal Function Tests and its Correlation With Blood Glucose And EGFR in Freshly Diagnosed Type-2 Diabetes Patients
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
High values of renal function tests are associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. But there are studies that found that the levels of creatinine and uric acid are low in cases of diabetes mellitus. Comparative studies related to serum renal function tests with eGFR and blood glucose in type 2 DM is less. Hence the study was undertaken to study the RFT and its correlation with blood glucose and eGFR in type 2 DM. 25 freshly diagnosed cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus and 25 healthy controls were studied. It is found Mean serum urea levels were 25.80±6.75 mg/dL in controls and 34.08±9.62 in cases, which was statistically highly significant. Mean serum creatinine and uric acid values were also highly significant (p=0.0002) in cases, as compared to controls. Significant positive correlation was found between FBS (p<0.001) and PPBS (p<0.0001) with the eGFR and renal function tests in both cases and controls. Our study shows urea, creatinine and uric acid levels are towards higher reference limits in cases compared to controls.
