HbA1c levels with albuminuria in diabetes mellitus patients

Introduction: The number of people with diabetes mellitus (DM) worldwide with kidney complications has increased. Glycemic control by assessing HbA1c levels is one factor that influences the occurrence of kidney damage in DM patients. This study aims to determine the relationship between HbA1c levels and the incidence of albuminuria in DM patients. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional analytic observational study with consecutive sampling techniques in DM patients who did not have urinary tract infections and had no history of other kidney diseases, which were then measured for HbA1c levels and protein in the urine. Results: A total of 20 patients (62.5 %) were female, and 12 patients (37.5 %) were male. The average age of the patients was 59.81±4.89 years, and the average length of suffering from DM was 6.21±2.27 years. The average HbA1c level was 8.63±2.15, with an HbA1c level >7 found in 21 patients (65.7 %). In this study, there were 21 patients (65.7 %) with uncontrolled HbA1c levels. In this study, the prevalence of negative albuminuria was 56.2 %, while the prevalence of positive albuminuria was 43.8 %. There was a significant relationship between uncontrolled HbA1c levels and the incidence of albuminuria in DM patients (p=0.03). Conclusion: Uncontrolled HbA1c levels were associated with the incidence of albuminuria in DM patients.

Objectives: The study anticipates to appraise HbA1c levels after three months of sitagliptin addition (100mg/day) to patients already using conventional oral antidiabetics in patients of type II diabetes mellitus who have a meager retort to these existing anti diabetics. Study Design: Mainly cross sectional prospective multicenter, open labeled study. Setting: Department of Medicine University medical diagnostic center & District Head Quarter Hospital Sargodha. Period: January 2017 to June 2017. Material & Methods: 100 inadequately controlled diabetics using different types of oral anti diabetics were chosen and an especially designed performa was accomplished. In our study we gave preference to those patients who were on preexisting oral anti diabetics and now dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors were added for the first time. The patients were instructed (at the baseline visit) to report during the subsequent visit about glycemic control. Patients were not clued-up that glycosylated hemoglobin control was the main seek of the study, so there was no chance for Pygmalion effect. Results: Levels of glycosylated hemoglobin were significantly reduced after three months of treatment compared to baseline, with a mean alteration in HbA1c level from baseline of −0.77% (range, −0.68 to − -0.86%) in the entire study population at three months. The percentage of patients who achieved an HbA1c level of <6.9% significantly increased after three months of treatment, reaching 58.1%. Conclusion: HbA1c significantly lowered in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on conventional OADs after adding sitagliptin.

Hba1c Levels

In this cross-sectional study of 141 Aboriginal Australians aged ≥45 years living in the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia, we explored whether glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were associated with frailty. Sixty-four participants (45.4%) had a HbA1c level ≥6.5% and 84 participants (59.6%) were frail. A significant trend was observed with regard to HbA1c levels and frailty, with those having HbA1c levels ≥6.5% having the greatest prevalence of frailty (70.3%). In binary logistic regression analyses, having a HbA1c level ≥6.5% was associated with being frail after adjustment for age, sex, and education. This association was attenuated after further adjustment for body mass index (BMI). Poorer glycaemic control is very common and a potential risk factor for frailty in remote-living Aboriginal Australians, and appears to be partly mediated by BMI, a known risk factor for diabetes mellitus. Obesity and diabetes mellitus are potentially important modifiable risk factors for frailty.

Abstract Background: Abnormal glucose metabolism has been suggested to be involved in the development of hypertension. This study investigated the effect of the association and potential interaction of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and other factors on the risk of hypertension among Chinese nondiabetic adults. Methods : As a cross-sectional survey, the current work deployed a questionnaire survey, anthropometric tests, and biochemical measures for each of the eligible participants. The HbA1c levels were quantified and grouped by quartiles. Correlations between HbA1c and hypertension, isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), and isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH) risk in nondiabetics were investigated by univariate and multivariate logistic analyses. For evaluating the interactive effects, the parameters of relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI), attributable proportion due to interaction (AP), and synergy index (SI) were calculated, respectively. Results : In the current study, 1,462 nondiabetic subjects were enrolled. In total, the prevalence rates of hypertension, ISH and IDH were 22.4%, 9.6% and 4.5%, respectively. When HbA1c levels were grouped by quartile, it was revealed that the prevalence rates of hypertension and ISH were substantially elevated across groups (Pfor trend<0.001). In the multivariable logistic regression analyses, in comparison with the first quartile of HbA1c, the normalized OR for hypertension risk was 1.90 (95% CI: 1.28-2.80) for the highest quartile. Also, the risk of ISH was significantly increased with HbA1c level in the highest quartile relative to in the bottom quartile (OR: 2.23,95% CI:1.47-3.71). However, no significant relationship between the HbA1c level and IDH risk was observed (OR: 1.78, 95% CI: 0.82-3.84). Eventually, it was demonstrated from the interactive effect analysis that HbA1c significantly interacted with abdominal obesity(RERI: 1.48, 95% CI: 0.38-2.58; AP: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.14-0.60 and SI: 1.96, 95% CI: 1.06-3.62) and family history of hypertension(AP: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.05-0.70) in influencing the risk of hypertension in nondiabetic participants.Conclusion: Higher HbA1c levels were associated with an increased risk of hypertension and ISH, but not IDH among Chinese nondiabetic adults. Moreover, the risk of hypertension was also aggravated by the upregulated HbA1c in a synergistic manner alongside abdominal obesity and family history of hypertension.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that has characteristics of high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia), this can occur due to abnormalities in insulin secretion. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of hemoglobin levels with long suffering Diabetes Mellitus patients. This study used was correlational design with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were 225 people with a sample of 67 respondents with purposive sampling technique. Data was collected by checking hemoglobin levels and Quesioner. The results showed that almost all respondents had normal hemoglobin levels and most of the respondents had long history of suffering from Diabetes Mellitus for 5-10 years.. Data analysis used was the Rho Spearman test and can not found the relationship between hemoglobin levels and long suffering Diabetes Mellitus (p value = 0.565). History of suffering from Diabetes Mellitus,did not necessarily have low hemoglobin levels, because it can be noticed from other factors such as routine taking medication, diet, exercise, and lifestyle that can affect the condition of diabetes patients themselves. Diabetes Mellitus patients need to maintain the blood sugar levels and hemoglobin levels with a healthy lifestyle, take the recommended diet, routinely consume drugs, and check blood sugar levels regularly.

Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) increases the risk of tuberculosis disease (TB) and is associated with poor TB treatment outcomes in the general population. We examined the relationship between TB and DM in prison inmates in Peru. Methods We analyzed data from a cross-sectional, national survey of adult prison inmates in Peru conducted in 2016. The survey collected sociodemographic and medical information via standardized interview. Medical conditions were defined by self-report. We used multivariate logistic models for adjusted analyses of the relationship between TB and DM. Results Of 75,971 inmates, 3,104 (4.3%) reported a history of TB diagnosis. Table 1 shows the characteristics of the TB and non-TB groups. The prevalence of DM was higher in the TB group compared with the non-TB group (4.2% vs. 2.4%; P < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, DM was associated with twice the odds of having had a diagnosis of TB (adjusted OR = 2.2; 95% CI: 1.8–2.7). Male sex, Spanish language, no college/university education, reimprisonment, hypertension, and HIV infection were also associated with increased odds of prevalent TB (Figure 1). Conclusion There was a high prevalence of TB among prison inmates in Peru. DM was associated with an increased likelihood of prevalent TB. Our results are consistent with findings in noninstitutionalized populations and underscore the need to implement aggressive screening and treatment interventions for both TB and DM in prison settings.
