A Study to Show Postprandial Hypertriglyceridemia as a Risk Factor for Macrovascular Complications in Type 2 Diabetis Mellitus
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) comprises a group of metabolic disorders that share the phenotype of hyperglycemia with a predisposition to macro- and micro-vascular complications. Aims: Estimation of fasting triglycerides (TG) levels in patients with Type 2 DM with and without macrovascular complications. Compare postprandial triglyceridemia with already established independent markers such as fasting TG and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Materials and Methods: This case–control study was done at SVS Medical College and Hospital, Mahabubnagar, between 2012 and 2014. In the present study, 75 patients between the age group of 30–65 years were selected, 50 patients with known diabetes were grouped as cases, and 25 healthy subjects without any coincidental illness were selected as control. Results: The present study was undertaken in the Department of General Medicine, S.V.S Medical College and Hospital, Mahabubnagar. Conclusion: Macrovascular complications are more commonly observed in type 2 diabetis Mellitus. Chief observation in the present study was that elevated fasting triglyceride level was significantly associated in patients with diabetes.
