Homocysteine: A New Predictor for Diabetes Mellitus
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pathology: Research and Practice - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Materials and Methods: Four months study was conducted at Index Medical college, Department of Pathology. The initial rapid diagnosis of diabetes was confirmed followed by homocysteine level by ELISA method. Results: Out of 45 diabetic patients enrolled in the study, 36 patients (80% of 36 patients) had blood sugars values <200 mg/dl and 9 patients (20% of 36 patients) had random blood sugar values >200 mg/dl. Out of 23 patients (100% of the 45 patients) with normal homocysteine values, 18 patients (78.26%) had random blood sugar values <200 mg/dl and 5 patients (21.74 Objective: Hyperhomocysteinemia is strongly associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients %) had random blood sugar values >200 mg/ dl. Out of the 22 patients with abnormal plasma homocysteine values, 18 patients (81.82% of the 22 patients) had random blood sugar values <200 mg/dl and 4 patients (18. 18%) had random blood sugar value >200 mg/dl. Conclusion: A regular monitoring of homocysteine levels appears to be a useful strategy to reduce the morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients.
