Author(s): AK Al-Miraj* and Md. Iktier Hassan Khan
Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia and associated disturbances in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism because of absolute or relative insulin deficiency. Excess iron damages β-cells of pancreas due to oxidative stress contributing to pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyper glycaemia & raised HbA1c. Serum Ferritin is an acute phase protein and it is a marker of iron stores in the body. The aim of this study is to establish a correlation between serum ferritin and glycated hemoglobin levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. This study was done in the department of Medicine, Tertiary-level hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh done from July-2019 to Jun-2020. The study comprised of total 100 subjects. Blood samples were analyzed for Ferritin, HBA1c and fasting plasma glucose. Serum ferritin w.. View More»
