Evaluation of lipid profile of type 2 diabetic patients attending a tertiary hospital in Rayalaseema, Andhra Pradesh
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Biochemistry - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is associated with a marked increased risk of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). Such risk of Cardiovascular disease can be attributed to diabetic dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia is one of the common disorders which is observed in most of the diabetes patients, which causes cardio vascular disorders. This study is aimed at evaluating the lipid profile of type 2 diabetics and comparing the lipid profile of type 2 Diabetes males and females attending a tertiary hospital. Objective: To detect the lipid abnormality in type-2 Diabetic patients and compare the lipid profile of type 2 Diabetes males and females Methods: A total of 60 consenting type II diabetic patients comprising 30 Males and 30 Females aged 40-70 years were studied. Total Cholesterol (TCHOL), Triglycerides (TRG), High Density Lipoproteins (HDL-C), and Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL-C) levels) were analyzed for each group. Data was analyzed using unpaired t tests. Significance was set at p<0.05. Results: The mean values of TC, VLDL-C and LDL-C were higher and HDL-C was lower than the normal in T2DM patients. Comparison between males and females showed significantly higher TG, TC, LDL-C and lower HDL-C in T2DM females than males. Conclusions: This study noted the presence of dyslipidemia in T2DM population which is major risk factor for CVD. High LDL-C and low HDL-C was observed in T2DM females compared to T2DM males suggests higher risk for CVD in females compared to males
