Association of Serum Ferritin with Glycaemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Author Name : Mohammad Khalid, Dr Mohmmad Imran, Dr Shreya Nigoshkar

ABSTRACT Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a noncommunicable disease having predominant public health concern, affecting millions of people worldwide. Studies have shown that serum ferritin was proportional to serum glucose concentration, diastolic blood pressure, HDL cholesterol, and insulin resistance. However, role of ferritin as a marker of iron overload in pancreatic damage and peripheral insulin resistance or its role as an inflammatory marker is not clear. In present study we assessed level of serum ferritin in type 2 diabetes patients with good and poor glycaemic control and also assessed the correlation between serum free iron concentrations with glycaemic control.
