Correlations between peripheral artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes and high sensitivity C reactive protein level

Hewei Zhang, Pei YuMei, Jing Zhang

Abstract

Objective To investigate the relationship between high sensitivity C reactive protein(hs-CRP)level and peripheral artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods 120 patients with T2DM were enrolled in this study,58 paitiens of them were with peripheral artery diseases(observed group),as well as 62 patients of them without peripheral artery diseases(control group).The levels of hs-CRP in two groups were measured.Results The level of hs-CRP in the observed group were significantly higher than that in the control group.The level of hs-CRP was independently associated with the development of peripheral artery disease in patients with T2DM.Conclusions The development of T2DM is associated with hs-CRP.Increase of hs-CRP level is an independent risk factor for peripheral artery disease in patients with T2DM.
