GLYCEMIC CONTROL MODIFIES THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN MICROALBUMINURIA AND C-REACTIVE PROTEIN IN TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS

Abstract

BACKGROUND: HbA1c is most commonly used parameter for glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus patient. AIM The aim of the study was to evaluate whether any association exists between C-reactive protein and microalbuminuria in well controlled and poorly controlled Type 2 DM patients. METHOD : In this study, we included total 90 patients of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus admitted in GKGH , Bhuj during the period from Aug. 2018 to June 2019. The subjects were divided into two groups according to glycemic control as Group 1(Poorly controlled Diabetics) and Group 2( Well controlled Diabetics ) The groups 1 and 2 (based on Glycemic control) were further divided into 3 subgroups A, B and C (based on CRP level) with 15 subjects in each of these six subgroups. RESULT: Subjects with poor glycemic control had elevated values of MAU at all comparative levels of CRP. Further, it was shown that the level of MAU increased considerably with increasing level of CRP. CONCLUSION : There is a significant positive correlation between the level of MAU and CRP status in poorly controlled Type 2 diabetics.
