Abstract: Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a leading public health problem, that is affecting both developed and developing countries. The present study was evaluated correlation of HbA1c and dyslipidemia in patients of chronic kidney disease..
Materials & Methods: 60 patients of chronic kidney disease of both genders were put in group I and healthy control in group II. Estimation of lipid profile such as total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL, HDL, triglyceride, HbA1C, urea, creatinine, and creatinine clearance level was measured. Patients were also subjected to Ultra-sonography (USG) for detection of CKD.
Results: Age group 21-30 years had 7 patients in group I and 9 subjects in group II, 31-40 years had 12 and 14, 41-50 years had 18 and 17 and >50 years had 23 and 27 subjects respectively. Smoking was seen in 45 in group I and 28 in group II. Hb1AC level was normal in 13 and 39, impaired in 27 and 16 and diabetic in 20 and 5 in group I and II respectively. Dyslipidemia was present in 29 in group I and 14 in group II. The difference was significant (P< 0.05).
Conclusion: The CKD group had a considerably higher prevalence of dyslipidemia than the control group, as seen by elevated TG, LDL, and low HDL.
