Introduction: Diabetes is a metabolic disease whose prevalence is increasing globally. This study aimed to investigate laboratory diagnostic markers in type I, type II, and gestational diabetes.
Materials and Methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional study, and the necessary data were collected by referring to the medical records department of the educational hospitals of Abadan University of Medical Sciences. Accordingly, the demographic and laboratory information of patients with type I, type II, and gestational diabetes admitted from March 21, 2019, to March 19, 2020, that was available in the hospital information system, was gathered. The samples were selected randomly and by considering their diagnosis. Data analysis was performed in SPSS16 software, and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: In the current study, the mean values of hematocrit in type I, type II, and gestational diabetes were lower than normal. The mean scores of hemoglobin in type II diabetes and gestational diabetes were lower than normal. The mean blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, international normalized ratio, and prothrombin time in type 2 diabetes were higher than the normal range. In addition, the amount of BUN and creatinine in men was higher than normal and in women. In type I diabetes, the mean creatinine and BUN were higher than normal in the age group above 60. The mean laboratory factors studied in gestational diabetes showed a significant difference compared to type I diabetes and type II diabetes.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that type 1 and type 2 diabetes were more common in women than in men. It was also found that diabetes was associated with numerous complications and risks for sufferers, including anemia, kidney complications, and coagulation problems that resulted from increased blood sugar in these people, and these complications were more severe in old age. Screening, investigation, and timely diagnosis can help reduce and treat these complications in people with diabetes.
