Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that can lead to cardiovascular, renal, neurologic and retinal complications. Type 2 diabetes mellitus has quickly become a global health problem due to rapidly increasing population growth, ageing, urbanization and increasing prevalence of obesity and physical inactivity. A total of 40 individuals of both normal and diabetic, aged between 35 to 70 years were included in the study. Blood glucose, blood urea and serum creatinine were estimated and analyzed .Blood glucose was estimated by GOD – POD method. Estimation of serum creatinine was done by the modified Jaffe’s method. Blood urea was estimated by Urease-Berthelot’s method. There was significant increase in levels of blood urea and serum creatinine (p<0.001) in diabetic patients compared to healthy controls. Blood urea and serum creatinine are widely accepted to assess the renal functions in diabetics. Good control of blood glucose level is absolute requirement to prevent progressive renal impairment.
