A study on the status of serum High Sensitive C - Reactive Protein and Fasting Blood Sugar in Patients with Hyperlipidemia attending a Super Specialty Teaching Hospital in North Kerala

Abstract

This study was aimed to analyses the serum Hs-CRP level and fasting Blood Sugar level in patients with Hyperlipidemia in a Super Specialty Teaching Hospital in north Kerala. This was a hospital-based prospective observational study which was conducted to study the status of Hs-CRP and Fasting Blood sugar level on lipid profile status of newly diagnosed Hyperlipidemia patients which was compared with Normal Lipid Profile people. Healthy subjects were recruited as a control group and newly Diagnosed Hyperlipidemia patients were recruited as Test group. Study subjects of both gender in an age group of 30 to 70 were selected for the study. Serum Hs CRP, Fasting Blood sugar and serum lipid profile were estimated after overnight fasting condition. After the biochemical estimation, values were entered in an Excel sheet and level of test and control group was statistically analyzed by using Student's t-test using SPSS software. The values were expressed in Mean ± Standard Deviation (SD) and the status of serum Hs CRP, fasting Blood Sugar and Lipid Profile Parameters were shown a statistically significant difference (p<0.01) between Control and Test groups. The result of the study points out that the elevated level serum Hs-CRP and Fasting Blood Sugar can be used as predictive markers of Hyperlipidemia.
