ASSESSING THE CORRELATION BETWEEN LEVELS OF GLYCOSYLATED HB AND SERUM ALBUMIN IN SUBJECTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is high worldwide and is on the rise. Even though diabetes mellitus and its complications have been known about for a while, efforts to lower mortality and morbidity in people with the disease have only been concentrated on the last few decades. 

Aim: The goal of the current investigation was to determine whether glycosylated hemoglobin levels and serum albumin levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes are correlated.

Methods: The current institution-based observational study measured and linked the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and serum albumin in participants with a confirmed diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus.   Results: the mean serum albumin level in subjects with glycosylated hemoglobin of <7% was 3.87±0.88 mg/dl, in subjects with glycosylated hemoglobin of 7-9% it was 2.95±0.53 mg/dl, and in subjects with hemoglobin of >9% it was 2.46±0.69 mg/dl. Less HbA1C% was found to be negatively correlated with higher mean serum albumin levels. 

Conclusion: The current study comes to the conclusion that people with greater glycosylated hemoglobin values have lower serum albumin levels than subjects whose lower levels were linked to near-normal or normal serum albumin levels.
