Linking high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and dyslipidemia among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes is evaluated in a condition elevated hs-CRP is linked to an increased risk of myocardial infraction development. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the hs-CRP in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were not diagnosed with hypertension. We included total 120 T2DM patients attended to general medicine department and 60 healthy controls also included in the case control study. We measured demographic, anthropometric and clinical parameters from all the subjects. The type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with hypertension who had increased hs-CRP levels had a greater incidence of myocardial infraction results death and morbidity when compared to type 2 diabetes mellitus patients without hypertension. We show that CRP is a strong predictor of hospital morbidity and mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction who have diabetes with hypertension as well as those who do not have hypertension.
