ABSTRACT

In the present case control study, fasting blood glucose, serum urea and serum creatinine levels were measured in 50 diagnosed cases of type-2 DM patients and 50 age and sex matched healthy controls of North Indian Agra population. The fasting blood glucose level, serum urea and serum creatinine were significantly (p<0.001) increased with the increasing duration of diabetes. Our findings have shown that the renal function tests including serum urea and serum creatinine levels could be used for assessment of renal impairment in diabetic patients. The measurement of these tests would be a beneficial effect on renal complications and may be progression of diabetic nephropathy. Good glycemic control is also required in diabetic patients with increasing duration to prevent the renal dysfunction.

Key words :Creatinine, DAM,Diabetes, Diabetic Nephropathy, Glucose, Urea.
