Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common metabolic disorder affecting insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, or both, resulting in hyperglycemia. As it progresses, almost all systems including cardiovascular, nervous, renal, etc. are involved eventually manifesting as several health-related complications. As all the systems of the human body work in harmony with each other, development of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and setting in of chronic inflammatory states evidenced by the rise in inflammatory markers are interrelated.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to establish the correlation of the inflammatory markers, serum ferritin and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and dyslipidemia in patients of type 2 DM.

Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Biochemistry, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, Jharkhand. A total of 80 male patients of type 2 DM aged between 40 and 60 years with blood HbA1c level of more than 6.5% were included in the study.

Results: The inflammatory markers hs-CRP and ferritin were found to be positively correlated with HbA1c, triglycerides, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol but negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol.

Conclusion: Estimation of serum ferritin and hs-CRP can detect the ongoing inflammatory and free radical-mediated damages in diabetic patients at an early period before the development of diabetic-related complications such as atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction.
