Kidney profile evaluation in the hypoglycemic type ii diabetic subjects

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases which if not controlled can cause serious complications. Aim: Kidney Profile Evaluation In The Hypoglycemic Type II Diabetic Subjects. Methodology: Fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), serum urea, creatinine, sodium (Na+), potassium (K+) and microalbuminuria levels were evaluated. Total sample size was 60, which was divided into 30 study group with type II DM having hypoglycemia (blood glucose level <70 mg/dl) who attended the Medicine OPD of AVBRH Hospital and 30 age, sex matched healthy controls included in the study. Results: Results of serum urea and creatinine levels were higher in cases as compared to the controls (p<0.0001). Urinary Microalbumin level were 70.71±5.57 which was higher in the cases as compared to controls (p<0.0001). Serum Sodium level in the cases were 128.26 ± 2.46 which was significantly lower in the cases as compared to controls (p<0.0001). Level of serum Potassium level in the cases were 6.09 ± 0.23 which was significantly higher in the cases as compared to controls (p<0.0001). HbA1c has significant negative correlation with Creatinine (p<0.01). Conclusion: Early detection of Kidney Profile abnormalities can minimize the risk for development of Nephrotic complications in the hypoglycemic type II diabetic subjects.
