Estimation of Plasma Urea and Plasma Creatinine Levels in Sudanese Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Abstract

The present study carried out during the period from February to May 2014 in Khartoum state, and aimed to estimate plasma urea and creatinine in type 2 diabetic patients. Thirty diabetic patients (sample collected from Zenam specialized hospital) and 20 apparently healthy individual (sample collected from Sudan University of Science and Technology) were enrolled in this study. Enzymatic method was used to estimate plasma urea level and kinetic method was used to estimate plasma creatinine. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS, showed that there is no significant difference between plasma creatinine in type 2 diabetic patients and control group ( p.value 0.571), and there is a significant difference between plasma urea in type 2 diabetic patients and control group (p.value 0.019). From this study it is concluded that there is no difference in the level of plasma creatinine in type 2 diabetic patients and control group, and the level of plasma urea increased in type2 diabetic patients.
