Application study of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and serum lipids detection in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Objective To discuss the application of serum hs-CRP and lipids detection and the correlations between them in type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods The levels of serum hs-CRP,TC,TG, HDL-C,LDL-C,ApoA1,ApoB were all measured in 49 type 2 diabetic patients and 53 normal cases.Results The type 2 diabetic group had significantly higher hs-CRP, TC,TG, LDL-C, ApoB and lower HDL-C than the control group. The concentration of serum hs-CRP correlated positively with TG,ApoB and negatively with HDL-C.Conclusion Serum hs-CRP level is associated with serum lipid level and inflammatory response might play an important role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In type 2 diabetic mellitus there is an increased risk of development of cardiovascular diseases.
