Abstract


Diabetes nephropathy is an emerging serious health problem for diabetic patients. Many studies have demonstrated that high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP is a marker of inflammation. It may play a significant role as predictor of inflammation in nephropathy patients when it could test with other reliable marker. The aim of present study was to estimate the association among hs-CRP levels, fasting blood glucose and blood pressure level. A quantitative, analytical, hospital-based study was done by enrolling 89 type-2 diabetic patients conducted at Tertiary Care Hospital. The authors analyzed serum concentrations of hs-CRP, fasting blood glucose and blood pressure of type-2 diabetic patients. In this study, the authors found the significant association between serum hs-CRP and fasting blood glucose level (P values = 0.001). Furthermore, serum hs-CRP was not correlated with blood pressure (P > 0.161). In the same way, fasting blood glucose was not also significantly correlated with blood pressure of diabetic patients. This study concludes that serum hs-CRP value in type-2 diabetic patients is significantly correlated with fasting blood sugar level. And there is no correlation of both serum hs-CRP and fasting blood glucose level with the risk factors especially blood pressure of type-2 diabetes. The significance of these findings emphasizes to choose these associations for early screening and staging of diabetic nephropathy.
