Study of C - reactive protein, D-dimer in correlation with HbA1C levels in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2

Abstract

Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease presented with chronic hyperglycemia, which causes abnormalities in the endothelial cells, proinflammatory state, altered platelet function & plasma coagulation factors that lead to a hypercoagulable state & thrombotic incidents. D-dimer is an indirect marker of thrombotic activity. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an important risk factor for systemic inflammation, so the present study aimed to determine the relationship between CRP, D-dimer in correlation with HbA1C in patients with Diabetes Mellitus.
