Exploring the Interplay: Lipid Profiles and Renal Functions in Type 2 Diabetes at a Tertiary Care Hospital

Background: The assessment of lipid profiles and renal functions is crucial in understanding the multifaceted nature of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) within the context of healthcare. Tertiary care hospitals play a pivotal role in managing complex medical conditions, and T2DM, being a chronic metabolic disorder, often presents with intricate challenges.

Aims and objective: The primary aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between lipid profiles and renal functions in individuals diagnosed with T2DM and also to analyze the relationship between various lipid parameters and markers of renal function among T2DM.

Materials and methods: This research included 120 individuals diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) who were hospitalized at a tertiary hospital and research center. The study encompassed both outpatient and inpatient environments. Various tests, including HbA1c, serum creatinine, lipid profile, albumin creatinine ratio, fasting blood sugar, and postprandial blood sugar, were performed through blood and urine samples.

Results: The overall blood sugar level measured 2-3 hours after eating was found to be 175.92Â ± 25.188 (range: 120-240). A statistical analysis revealed a mild positive correlation between the lipid profile and fasting blood sugar levels, with a correlation coefficient of 0.035.

Conclusion: The findings underscore the significance of monitoring lipid profiles and renal functions for a more comprehensive and targeted approach to managing T2DM in clinical settings. Further research and longitudinal studies are warranted to deepen our understanding and enhance therapeutic strategies for individuals with T2DM.
