ASSOCIATION BETWEEN ATHEROGENIC RATIO TO FASTING PLASMA GLUCOSE AND HbA1c
AbstractHyperlipidemia is a common finding in uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and patients with DM generally show alteration in lipid profile, notably in triglycerides value. Research done in the past has pointed out the usefulness of Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) as a useful parameter for the diagnosis of Type 2 DM. HbA1c is well established as gold standard to monitor long term diabetic control. Further elevated lipid profile markers have been linked to a host of diseases like Cardiovascular, liver and kidney. Some studies have shown reasonable association between AIP to plasma glucose and HbA1c, but this study did not find any association between AIP to HbA1c and glucose, but very good association have been observed between Atherogenic ratio to both plasma glucose and HbA1c suggesting that lipid profile test to be made as routine for the diagnostic improvement of all DM patients. The contents of this study will serve as a model for future researchers to explore more studies in this field to define a set of diagnostic tests linking cardiac, liver and kidney to be used as routine Master Health Checkup package
