The levels of lipid profile (cholesterol, triglyceride) in Iraqi patients with thalassemia and diabetes

This study aimed to determine cholesterol and triglyceride levels in Iraqi thalassemia and diabetic patients. The research comprised 120 individuals with diapetic thalassemia and a similar control group. Both genders, 10 to 45 years old, attend ibn al baladi hospital and al-karama hospital in Baghdad. Study from june to august 2022. Hb, Ferritin, FBS, Cholesterol, and TG were examined in Thalassemia, Thalassemia with DM, and control participants. The findings demonstrated a significant difference in Hb between controls and Thalassemia patients at a 0.05 alfa level, as well as between controls and Thalassemia with DM. Thalassemia and Thalassemia with DM had higher ferritin levels than controls. Fasting blood glucose findings demonstrated a significant difference between Thalassemia and Thalassemia with DM compared to control. Both Thalassemia and Thalassemia with DM had lower cholesterol levels than controls. Both Thalassemia and Thalassemia with DM had lower triglyceride levels than controls. The correlation investigation found substantial associations between FBS, cholesterol, and TG. Using thalassemia patients as a paradigm, and Thalassemia with DM, the connection between FBS, Cholesterol, and TG.
