Proportion of Total Lipid Profile Levels among Diabetic Patients with Type II in Reference Laboratory – Emsallatah

Abstract

This study was conducted in the period from September 2021 to December 2021 and aimed to present the pathological changes of hypertriglyceridemia, hyper cholesteremia, and hyper lipedema for patients with diabetes mellitus with type II in the (Reference Laboratory – Emsallatah) and determine some of the risk factors in patients with diabetes mellitus type II. Materials and Methods: A total of 203 patients participated in this study. Blood samples were collected by venipuncture. The levels of serum total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglyceride (TG) were measured using standard biochemical methods, and the data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel version 2010 and the SPSS program (SPSS version 22). The study was done among 108 females and 95 males, and the participants of the study were aged 20–90 years. The basic information, including age, gender, smoking, residency, and hypertension, was collected by a questionnaire. Results: High cholesterol levels were noted in 10.3% of total patients and elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels were noted in 13.8% of total patients, while the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were noted at risk in 61.1% of total patients (according to age), (72.2% of females and 48.4% of males) and (71.13% of total patients who have hypertension). In contrast, no differences were observed between triglyceride (TG) levels and any of the study variables. Conclusion: The frequencies of cholesterol and LDL levels were higher according to age, and levels of HDL were higher according to age, gender, and hypertension, while the frequencies of TG levels weren't related to any of the risk factors in the study.
