Assessment of electrolytes, markers of glycaemic control and renal dysfunction among adult Nigerians recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic and progressive endocrine disorder that may result in macro and microvascular complications. This study assessed some biochemical analytes in Nigerians who were recently (≤ 6 months) diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). 160 T2DM and 90 non-diabetic control p...

Zusammenfassung:Diabetes mellitus is a chronic and progressive endocrine disorder that may result in macro and microvascular complications. This study assessed some biochemical analytes in Nigerians who were recently (≤ 6 months) diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). 160 T2DM and 90 non-diabetic control participated in this study. Blood samples were collected and analyzed for Heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (HFABP), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), electrolytes, lipid and renal profile parameters, glycated haemoglobin (HBA1C) and fasting blood glucose (FBG), using standard guidelines. The body mass index (BMI) of the T2DM volunteers was higher than control (P
