Introduction: Dyslipidemia is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease in diabetes mellitus. Early detection and treatment of dyslipidemia in type-2 diabetes mellitus can prevent risk for atherogenic cardiovascular disorder. Objective: To determine the frequency of dyslipidemia in patients with type II diabetes mellitus presenting in a tertiary care hospital for routine check-up Materials and Methods Study design: Cross sectional study Setting: Department of Medicine (South Medical Ward), Mayo Hospital, Lahore Duration: Six months i.e. 1st July 2020 to 31st December 2020. Data collection procedure: Total 220 patients fulfilling selection criteria were enrolled in the study. Then blood samples were obtained and sent to the pathology laboratory of the hospital for assessment of lipid profile. Reports were assessed and level of cholesterol and triglycerides were noted and dyslipidemia was labeled, if levels were high. All this data was recorded in proforma. Results: In this study, the mean age of patients in this study was 52.71 ± 7.46 years. There were 104 (47.3%) males and 116 (52.7%) females. There were 92 (41.8%) patients of normal BMI, 72 (32.7%) patients were overweight and 56 (25.5%) patients were obese. The mean duration of diabetes was 18.30 ± 3.92 months. Dyslipidemia was diagnosed in 97 (44.09%) patients. Conclusion: Results of this study showed high frequency of dyslipidemia among diabetic patients.

Objective: The major theme of the research was to evaluate the frequency of diabetes mellitus patients with hepatitis C infection at tertiary care hospital of Sindh, Pakistan. Methodology: Descriptive cross sectional study was conducted at tertiary care hospital of Sindh, Pakistan for the period of 08 months; total 374 sample size was calculated by using Rao soft sample size calculator at the prevalence rate of 58.3% and confidence level 95% and margin of error 5%. Data was collected from patients of sero-positive HCV-RNA (Hepatitis C Virus-Ribose Nucleic Acid) visiting outpatient department or admitted at tertiary care hospital of Sindh, Pakistan and Informed consent form was also filled from all included subjects and data was analyzed by using SPSS software version 24.00. Results: From the 374 patients 209 were males and 165 females and all participants were divided in to various age groups as 15 patients were in the age group of 20-25 years, 67 patients were in 26-30 years, 48 patients included in 31-35 years and 109 patients were included in to age group of 36-40 years. Only 12 patients were included in the age group of 50 years and above. Total 164 (43.85%) were diabetic and 229 (61.22%) were diagnosed with Hepatitis C RNA (Ribose Nucleic Acid) positive. Patients had various range of HbA1c as 93 patients had range between 6-7mmol/dl. 107(28.60%) included in 7-9mmol/dl, 145(38.77%) included in 9-11mmol/dl and only 29 patients were having HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin) level above 11mmol/dl. Conclusion: It was concluded that there were increased number of diabetic patients with hepatitis C in worsening condition, so the proper programs should be conducted in order to reduce the complication of co-morbid disease.
