Association of hs-CRP with Diabetic and Non-diabetic individuals

Association of hs-crp in diabetic and non – diabetic subjects were studied epidemiologically. the analysis was done with 400 diabetic and 400 non-diabetic individuals. anthropometric and biochemical parameters were studied to assess the association of hs-crp with in diabetes mellitus. type ii diabetes mellitus encompasses -90 % of the diabetic subjects, and it is characterized by insulin resistance often accompanied by obesity and dyslipidemia. hs- crp, the golden marker of inflammation was analyzed in diabetic and non- diabetic subjects. anthropometric parameters were found to be high in diabetic subjects compared with non-diabetic subjects. the high hs-crp levels in diabetic subjects were observed.the hs- crp levels were seen in diabetes with insulin resistance. serum hs- crp levels were positively related to anthropometric parameters. the relationship of hs-crp with glycaemic control was studied with hba1c, and it was positively correlated with hs-crp. the results concluded that hs-crp has strong association with diabetic individuals. the significance of hs-crp in diabetic and non diabetic individuals was discussed
