Relevance of Lipoprotein (a) in predicting the diagnosis of type II diabetes mellitus
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Biochemistry - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Lp(a) has atherogenic and thrombotic properties and is considered to be a major risk factor for the development of atherosclerotic disease. The risk of cardiovascular disease is increased in both insulin-dependent (IDDM) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), and Lp(a) has attracted attention as a potential risk factor in diabetic patients. Methods: This study was a cross sectional study selected randomly and working in the department of Biochemistry and Medicine ward of M.G.M Medical College and L.S.K. Hospital Kishanganj, Bihar. The duration of study was from Oct 2017 to Nov 2018. The study group comprised of 50 - 50 each of IDDM and NIDDM patients and control 50 healthy individual persons. After following the exclusion and inclusion criteria. Result: After analysing all the data that we have collected throughout our study we found that, LP(a), Oxidative stress marker (MDA) level is increased in both IDDM and NIDDM patients. Conclusion: LP(a) is raised in DM in respect of case. The degree of rise is more is IDDM than NIDDM.
