Abstract
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) affects renal functions and lipid profiles of patients. Objectives: In this study, 100 patients (65 females, 35 males) with T2DM were evaluated to determine whether renal function characteristics and lipid profiles are associated with T2DM. Methods: Blood samples were collected from all patients with T2DM, and the levels of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), blood urea, serum creatinine, cholesterol, triglyceride (TGR), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) were analyzed. Results: A direct correlation of blood sugar and HbA1c was observed with blood urea, serum creatinine, serum cholesterol, serum TGR, HDL, LDL, and VLDL. The results revealed elevated TGR levels in patients administered medications for hyperglycemia. Furthermore, serum TGR levels were significantly correlated with blood sugar levels (p = 0.035). Blood urea levels were significantly correlated with glycated hemoglobin (p = 0.008). Blood urea, serum creatinine, and serum cholesterol levels were highly significantly correlated with HbA1c (p = 0.008, 0.017, and 0.005, respectively), while HDL, LDL, and VLDL were not significantly correlated with HbA1c. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of serum TGR and serum creatinine measurement for guiding the treatment of T2DM.
