Objective: To study the relationship between serum calcium level and blood pressure level in patients presenting with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted at East Medical Ward, Department of Medicine Mayo Hospital Lahore. This study was done in six months period from March 10, 2015- Sep 10, 2015. The non-probability consecutive sampling technique was used in this study. Informed consent and demographic information like name, age and address was recorded. Systolic and Diastolic Blood pressure was measured by using standard and absolute sphygmomanometer. 3ml Blood sample of each patient was taken with informed consent and was sent to the laboratory of the hospital to assess serum calcium level [as per operational definition). Reports were assessed and calcium level was recorded. Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to measure the relationship between serum calcium level and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. pvalue Results: In our study the mean age of the patients was 59.42 +/- 11.02 years, 30% patients were males and 70% patients were females. The mean SBP value of the patients was 140.56 +/- 11.35 mmHg and mean DBPvalue was 87.98 +/- 6.11 mmHg. In this study the mean value of calcium level of the patients was 8.22 +/- 1.24 mg/dl. The negative correlation was observed in our study between the calcium level and SBP, DBPof the DM patients i.e. r= -0.665 and -0.401 respectively
Conclusion: The study concluded that negative correlation was observed between the serum calcium level and the blood pressure level in patients presenting with type 2 diabetes mellitus
