PLAZMA ATEROJENİK İNDEKSİN DİYABETES MELLİTUS TİPLERİ ARASINDA KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI
COMPARISON OF PLASMA ATEROGENIC INDEX BETWEEN DIABETES MELLITUS TYPES

Summary/Abstract: Objective: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease that affects several systems and organs. Diabetic dyslipemia is considered to be one of the major macrovascular complications of DM. Plasma atherogenic index (PAI) is considered as an independent determining factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this study was to compare the PAI values between Type-1 DM and type-2 DM patient groups.Material and Method: The study data were obtained by scanning the files of 58 patients who applied to the cardiology outpatient clinic within the last one year retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups as 20 patients in Type-1 DM group and 38 patients in Type-2 DM group. PAI was obtained by taking logarithm of plasma triglyceride divided by plasma high density lipoprotein.Results: PAI was 0.29±0.31 in type-1 DM group and PAI 0.62±0.35 in type-2 DM group (p=0.001).Conclusion: PAI, which is an important predictor of CVD, was found to be higher in patients with type-2 DM than those with type-1 DM.
