Evaluation of lipid profile, liver function enzymes, and trace elements in Iraqi diabetic nephropathy patients
Diabetic nephropathy, a common complication of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), is associated with abnormal lipid profiles, liver dysfunction, and kidney impairment. However, research on its association with trace elements in Iraqi patients is limited. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the association between lipid profile, liver function, and trace elements in diabetic nephropathy (DN) patients. In this study, 120 individuals were selected. Sixty of these individuals were labeled as the DN patient group, and 60 individuals were labeled as the healthy control group. A flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer (FAAS) was utilized to assess the levels of zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and magnesium (Mg), whereas a flameless atomic absorption (FAA) was used to assess manganese (Mn). A colorimetric method was used based on the protocols included in the leaflets by Spinreact kits to determine the levels of lipid profiles and liver function enzymes in the serum. The mean value of h igh-density lipoprotein (HDL) decreased significantly in the DN patient group compared to the control group (p < 0.001) while cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) decreased insignificantly. Conversely, the mean value of triglycerides (TGs) increased significantly in patient group ((p < 0.001) while very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) increased insignificantly. On the other hand, the mean values of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and γ- glutamyl transferase (GGT) were significantly greater in DN patients compared to the healthy controls. Conversely, the mean values of total protein (TP) and albumin (Alb) were significantly lower in the DN patient group. In terms of trace elements, the mean values of Zn, Mg, and Mn were significantly lower in each of the patient groups compared to the healthy group. Conversely, a significant elevation in the means of Cu and Fe was observed in patients compared to the healthy group. Add itionally, the findings revealed no association between BMI and lipid profile, liver enzymes, or trace elements. However, an association with age was limited to TGs, ALP, and GGT. The study's results show that the DN patients have abnormalities in their serum trace element levels. This means that these elements could be valuable indicators for monitoring and assessing the progression of DN. Understanding the correlation between lipid profile, liver function, and trace elements could offer valuable insights for managing and preventing diabetic nephropathy. More extensive studies, including an additional group of DM patients without nephropathy complications, are required, and could be used in practice due to the progression of the disease. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V. 2024.
