    Correlation of type II diabetes mellitus with kidney disease in population of Lahore
    (UMT Lahore, 2021) NIDA SHAHZAD
    Type II Diabetes mellitus is a serious health problem that is globally prevalent in many countries and regions. The different complications that arise from type II diabetes mellitus are also significantly high in percentage. The current research was conducted with an aim to associate type II diabetes mellitus and its effect on kidney disease. Retrospective data was collected from 177 patients having Type II diabetes, comprising 100 male and 77 female patients. The male and female classification was further based upon comparison of HbA1c level in normal, prediabetes, and diabetic patients. Out of 77 female patients, the HbA1c level was normal in 28 patients, whereas 22 patients were prediabetic and 27 were diabetic, respectively. In 100 male patients, the HbA1c levels were normal in 45 patients, while it was high in 23 prediabetic and 35 diabetic patients. The HbA1c levels were also associated with urea and kidney parameters and it was observed that a high prevalence of type II diabetes mellitus and their association with kidney disease are seen in age group 3 (41-60 years), in which 50.2% of patients have high HbA1c levels and their kidney parameters were also high, i.e., urea and creatinine in this age group, which proved that there is a strong correlation between type II diabetes mellitus and kidney disease. By using chi-square, the p-value was calculated as (p<0.05), showing a significant correlation between these two parameters. In association of high HbA1c with kidney disease, the p-values of HbA1c (p=0.0376), urea (p=0.0002), and creatinine (p=0.0472) show significant statistical results based upon the correlation of type II Diabetes mellitus and kidney disease. The abnormal lipid profile also described that obesity is an important risk factor of type II diabetes mellitus.
