Perspectives of Diabetes Mellitus on Vital Organ

The study investigates the association between type 2 diabetes mellitus and liver function in 50 diabetic individuals compared to 30 controls, predominantly males. Liver function tests, including ALT, AST, ALP, serum albumin, and bilirubin, were conducted. Diabetic individuals were categorized into four grades based on fasting blood sugar levels. Compared to controls, diabetic individuals exhibited lower levels of total serum proteins, albumin, and albumin to globulin ratio, with grade IV diabetes showing particularly notable deviations, including low total serum proteins and albumin levels, alongside elevated thymol turbidity and alkaline phosphatase. However, individuals with lower-grade diabetes did not display significant alterations in liver function. This study underscores the importance of monitoring liver function, especially in advanced stages of type 2 diabetes, for timely intervention and management.
