Significance of hs-CRP in vestibular dysfunction in type II diabetes mellitus
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: The most common morbid complication of Type-2 diabetes mellitus is vestibulopathy. Microangiopathy & Oxidative stress due to diabetes mellitus is one of the causative factor of this vestibular dysfunction. Aim and Objectives: The aim of the study is to find the significance of hs-CRP in vestibular dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study of 100 diabetic patients were tested for vestibular function by electronystagmography. Clausen butterfly chart is generated based on the bithermal caloric stimulation and the code is ascertained & Serum hsCRP was estimated for these patients by immunoturbidometry. Data analysis done using SPSS package. Results: 65% of diabetic population with hsCRP>3mg/L had vestibular dysfunction which is significant. It is also found that 70% of diabetic patients with greater than 4 years duration had vestibular dysfunction Conclusion: From this study it is concluded that the proportion of diabetic vestibulopathy is higher in those having hsCRP of >3mg/L. So it is advisable to do screening for all diabetics by estimating hsCRP & vestibular dysfunction particularly those having hsCRP >3mg/L so as to prevent the morbid complication diabetic vestibulopathy
