Study of Highly Sensitive C - Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) In Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Its Correlation with Glycosylated Hemoglobin
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Studies have shown that hs-CRP is associated with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and higher HbA1c levels. This study was done to evaluate the correlation of hs-CRP with HbA1C. Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the serum high sensitive C- Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to correlate with HbA1C levels. Materials and Methods: In this study 50 patients aged above 18 years with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled and subjected to detailed history and examination. In all patients hs-CRP with HbA1C were measured. Results: In our study population 79% had hs-CRP levels ≥3.0 and 21% had hs-CRP levels <3.0. It concludes that higher prevalence of increase of hs-CRP in subjects with Type 2 diabetes. We found no statistically significant correlation among them except with duration of DM. Conclusion: This study strongly warrants future investigations that probe the role of genetic variants and other environmental factors that influence the elevation of hsCRP levels in this high-risk group
