ABSTRACT
It has been observed metabolically as well as by many studies that Diabetes Mellitus, especially Type 2
Diabetic patients have hyperlipoproteinemia. Elevated lipid profile is a common findings in many
established diabetic patients. Liver is the sole site for carbohydrates and lipid metabolism. Any
dysfunction in liver may lead to altered metabolism of both glucose and lipids. Hence significant
relationship must exist between lipid profile and liver function tests. Any derangement in liver function
may proportionately affect lipid parameters. All the patients selected for this study were on oral
hypoglycemic drugs. The results obtained for the 100 patients studied gave a very good correlation
between lipid profile and all the Liver Function Tests as well as to HbA1c, confirming that lipid profile
analytes are indeed associated with liver function tests as well as to glycosylated hemoglobin.
Key words: - Type 2 DM, LFT, HbA1c, Lipid profile.
