ABSTRACT
Background: Hyperuricemia and albuminuria is very common among the patients of type II diabetes mellitus. The casual association between hyperuricemia and type II diabetes may be mediated by kidney dysfunction as well as insulin resistance. The objective of the study is to find association between serum uric acid level and albuminuria level in type II diabetic patient. Methods: 60 diabetic patients were taken having both serum uric acid level and albuminuria level increased considerably. Incidence of hyperuricemia and albuminuria were compared taking into association the age, sex, BMI, FBS, HbA1C, serum lipid profile, urinary ACR of the patients. Results: Hyperuricemia was associated with the greater probability of albuminuria in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Conclusions: Serum uric acid and albuminuria is prevalent among patients of type II Diabetes mellitus, hence strict control of blood glucose level will significantly reduce the level of uric acid and albuminuria preventing further related micro and macrovascular complications of diabetes.
ABSTRACT
Background: Objective: our study was to observe the risk factors in different age group of patients with ischemic stroke. Methods: A total of 120 patients of ischemic stroke were considered on the basis of detail clinical history, laboratory findings and CT Scan/MRI. Results: Data was analyzed by using MS-Office software. Conclusion: Major risk factors associated with ischemic stroke was hypertension, smoking, alcohol consumption, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and obesity.
ABSTRACT
Background: Stroke is a global health problem and the second most common cause of death. It also entails a high socioeconomic burden due to increased mortality and morbidity. Despite substantial advances for treatment of stroke, effective primary stroke prevention remains the best means for reducing stroke burden. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study including 100 cerebrovascular patients and hundred non-cerebrovascular accident controls(age-sex matched) who were studied to determine the incidence of various types of stroke and association of various modifiable risk factors with stroke. Results: Incidence of ischaemic stroke was more than haemorrhagic stroke. Also, strong correlation exists between smoking, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and stroke. Conclusions: Effective management of these common risk factors can reduce the incidence, mortality and morbidity associated with stroke. Hence, primary prevention of stroke is of immense public health importance.
ABSTRACT
Background: Anaemia is not very uncommon in diabetics. Chronic hyperglycemia in uncontrolled diabetes is related to higher incidence of anaemia which goes unrecognized prior to the development of chronic renal failure. This study was conducted to know the prevalence of Anaemia in persons with Type II Diabetes Mellitus, in relation to glycemic control using HbA1c as a tool to it. Methods: 60 Diabetic subjects were divided into two groups of 30 each based on their glycemic control(group A, with poor glycemic control and group B with good glycemic control taking 7% Hba1c as cut off value),incidence of anaemia was measured and compared among them and also with 30 age and sex matched healthy non Diabetic controls. Results: Incidence of anaemia was found to be significantly higher in diabetics group as compared to non-diabetics and among diabetics it was significantly higher in uncontrolled group as compared to group with controlled diabetes. Conclusions: Anaemia is not an uncommon finding among Type II diabetics and further good glycemic control in diabetes is associated with a better haemoglobin levels, hence it is desirable to evaluate the haemoglobin level often to monitor for micro and macrovascular complications of diabetes even when the renal parameters are normal.
