Abstract


In this paper, an attempt was made to correlate blood sugar with urine titratable acidity and ammonia in diabetes. One hundred individuals are included in study (36 males & 34 females) and controls (16 males & 14 females). Estimation of blood sugar, estimation of creatinine in blood by commercial kit methods. Urine titratable acidity was done by titrating with 0.1M NaOH using phenolphthalein indicator and same solution was use for estimating ammonia by using formaldehyde and again titrating with 0.1M NaOH. Blood sugar was statistically highly significant correlated with creatinine and blood sugar was statistically not correlated with urinary titratable acidity, urinary ammonia and net acid excretion (p>0.05). Urinary titratable acidity statistically significant (p<0.01) correlated with urinary ammonia and net acid excretion and not correlated blood sugar and creatinine in blood (p>0.05), whereas urinary ammonia is highly significant with (p<0.01) net acid excretion. Blood sugar increase creatinine in blood is also increase with decreases level of urinary ammonia, urinary titratable acidity and net acid excretion. If creatinine level is increased in blood, there are increased levels of urinary ammonia, urinary titratable acidity and net acid excretion.
