Study of plasma fibrinogen levels in diabetics with vascular complications

ABSTRACT

A study of Plasma fibrinogen level in twenty normal [control] and eight six diabetic subjects is presented. The diabetic subjects were sub-divided into those with and without vascular complications. The mean plasma fibrinogen level showed and increase of 34.44% [P< 0.01] in the diabetics with vascular complications when compared to the values in the non-diabetic control individuals. The plasma fibrinogen value was also significant higher [P< 0.02] in diabetic with cardiovascular disease than in diabetics without vascular complications
