Abstract:

Objective: In this study we prospectively compared the patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) accompanied type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and patients followed with type 2 diabetes in view of the serum uric acid (SUA) and glutamil gamma transferase (GGT) levels furthermore metabolic parameters; it is targeted to reveal the relationship between these parameters and CAD development risk in diabetic patients. Materials-Methods: 118 patients with type ll DM and 222 type 2 DM patients with CAD who were applied to the cardiology output clinic enrolled to the study. Results: No significant difference was established between groups for SUAlevels (5.37 ± 1,48 vs 5.27±1,51 mg/dl; p=0,194) , while the GGT levels in CAD with type ll DM detected statistically significent higher than type II DM group(23.0 (16,0-32,50) vs 25 (18,0-39,0)U/L; P< 0,001). Conclusion: We observed serum GGTlevels in DM patients are a predictor of the raising cardiovascular risk. However, SUAlevels in type II DM are not have a relation with the risk of CAD.
