Assessment the Levels of Serum Ferritin and Some Biochemical Parameters in Type 2 Diabetic Subjects Attending A Tertiary Hospital in Bangladesh
Abstract
Background: Type 2 diabetes (NIDDM) is the commonest form of diabetes constituting nearly 90% of the diabetic population in any country. Iron is an important mineral in normal physiological processes, and ferritin is a specialized iron storage protein, which reflects iron stores in the body. Iron overload is a risk factor for diabetes. The link between iron and diabetes was first recognized in pathologic conditions-hereditary hemochromatosis and thalassemia, but high levels of dietary iron also import diabetes risk. Iron plays a direct and causal role in diabetes pathogenesis mediated both by β-cell failure and insulin resistance. The objective of the study to evaluate serum ferritin level among type 2 diabetes patients. Method: A hospital based observational study a total of 240 subjects among them 60 male diabetes patients and 60 female diabetes patients were recruited. Serum ferritin level were checked in all participants. Results: The mean age of T2DM was 59 14 years and control group was 50 13 years. The BMI of each group was 27.52 2.6 and 24.80 2.4. Ferritin (ng/dL) level in T2 DM subjects was 231 36 and control subjects was 48 22. Serum ferritin level among the study subjects control vs T2 DM, t/p value (8.465/0.0001). Conclusion: From this study it was observed that ferritin level is significantly higher among type 2 diabetes patients.
