Evaluation of hsCRP and HbA1c Levels in DN Patients
Abstract：Objective:To determine the serum level of high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hsCRP) in DN patients and to compare with that of normal subjects and to study the association between serum hsCRP levels and glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c) levels.Methods:50 DN patients in the age group of 50-65 years were recruited for this study and 50 age-and sex-matched healthy subjects were included in this study as controls.Results:There was a statistically significant increase in serum hsCRP levels in DN cases as compared to normal controls. The hsCRP levels showed a positive correlation with HbA1c in DN.Conclusion:These results suggest that estimation of serum hsCRP levels and aiming at good glycemic control help in early intervention and prevention of further complications in diabetic patients.
