Introduction: Both diabetes mellitus and hypertension are aspects of metabolic syndrome.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between serum magnesium level with resistant hyperlipidemia in a group of
diabetic and hypertensive patients.
Patients And Methods: The present cross- sectional study was carried out on 90 hypertensive and diabetic patients in Medicine Department of
DMCH, Laheriasarai, Bihar, (45 hypertensive and 45 diabetic patients). Included patients had high triglyceride levels despite 8 weeks of treatment
with lipid-lowering agents.
Results: There was an inverse signicant relationship between serum magnesium and triglyceride levels in diabetic patients (P=0.002, r=-0.458),
however, this correlation was not signicant in hypertensive patients (P=0.754, r=0.048).
Conclusion: This study showed, serum magnesium may affect triglycerides levels in diabetic patients, however, our nding requires further
investigation with larger population
