Assessment of Plasma Uric acid، Creatinine and Magnesium in Sudanese Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Across sectional study conducted during the period from May 2012 to July 2012,compared the plasma levels of magnesium,creatinine and uric acid of 70sudanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (as a test group )and 30apparentuly healthy volunteers (as control group).participant in this study were form Ultra Lab ,in Khartoum state ,sudan .the plasma magnesium ,creatinine and uric acid were measured using reagent kits and a spectrophotometer(B.T.S- 310)from Bio system company. Plasma magnesium was significantly reduced, where as creainine and uric acid was significantly increased in test group when compared to control group.(p<0.05). In the test group ,there was no correlation between the duration of disease and magnesium,creatinine and uric acid. From this study ,it is concluded that ;in Sudanese patients with the type 2diabetes mellitus the plasma levels of magnesium are reduced and levels of creainine and uric acid are increased.Plasma magnesium,creatinine and uric acid have no correlations with duration of diabetes.
