Evaluation of Some Biochemical Parameters in Iraqi type 2 diabetes Patients

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a class of metabolic problems where an individual has raised glucose, either because there is not sufficient insulin delivered by the pancreas, or because cells do not respond to the insulin generated. This study aims to evaluate some biochemical variables in humans with type 2 diabetes and their relationship to exacerbating the disease condition. Seventy patients suffering from diabetes mellitus and fifty healthy people were incorporated as should be expected controls for this review. Blood examination was done for every one of them which incorporate serum glucose, lipid profile, urea, creatinine and liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT) levels. This study included the verification of some biochemical variables by measuring their levels in diabetics and healthy people.

As the levels of all the variables under study increased in diabetics except for high-density lipoproteins, its level decreased compared to the results obtained for the same variables in healthy people.
