ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the frequency of dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetic patients with hypertension.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study
Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the diabetes outpatient department of Nishtar Hospital Multan in 6 months duration from January 2021 to June 2021.
Materials and Methods: A total of 145 patents with diagnosed type 2 diabetes and hypertension were enrolled in study. Detailed history and physical examination was done on all patients, fasting blood sample of all patients was drawn under aseptic measures and sent to laboratory for lipid profile to determine the status of dyslipidemia. SPSS version 24 was used for data analysis and after test of significance p values ≤0.05 was considered as significant.
Results: Presence and absence of dyslipidemia was shown as 80.7% and 19.3% respectively. Increased value of cholesterol (above 180) was observed in 57.2% patients and increased triglycerides (above 150) were observed in 70.3% patients. Low high density lipids were observed in 80% patients.
Conclusion: Type 2 diabetic patients with associated hypertension are at greater risk of dyslipidemia and most common identified abnormality of lipid profile is low level of high density lipids (HDL).
Key Words: Type 2 diabetes, Dyslipidemia, Hypertension, HDL, LDL
