Study of serum ferritin levels as an inflammatory marker and its relationship with Hba1c in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the leading metabolic disorder globally as well as in India affecting more than 135 million people all over the world1 Studies have shown a strong association between elevated serum levels of ferritin and type 2 DM4 Serum ferritin could be an independent determinant of poor metabolic control in the diabetic patient2 Serum ferritin as an inflammatory marker in type 2 diabetes mellitus is an underutilized but can be a reliable tool to evaluate the metabolic disorder4 We assessed 180 subjects 120 cases and 60 controls in the current study The case group was divided in to 2 groups based on the HbA1c levels as Group B HbA1C 6g 6gdl 60 cases The work embodied in the study includes subjects diagnosed of type 2 diabetes mellitus above 40 years of age attending diabetic OPD in ESIC PGIMSR of both gender Group A control includes healthy adults above 30 years of age both the sexes Serum levels Fasting sugar and Ferritin were estimated along with Glycated hemoglobin levels Mean serum ferritin levels in Group A Group B and Group C were 11208 901ngdl 3344 391ngmL and 3689 467 ng respectively Serum ferritin levels in Group B and C were significantly higher than Group A p Keywords Type 2 diabetes Serum ferritin Glycated hemoglobin Inflammatory marker
