Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus (DM), a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycaemia, associated with deficiency or resistance to insulin indicates endocrinal abnormality of the pancreas. Amylase and lipase are enzymes secreted by the exocrine portion of the pancreas. Endocrinal derangement observed in diabetes may interfere with the exocrine function of the pancreas. AIM: To estimate the levels of fasting blood sugar, serum lipase, serum amylase in patients of type 1 and type 2 DM. Than comparing them with healthy controls and to study the effect of type 1 and type 2 DM on pancreatic exocrine function using serum levels of amylase and lipase as biochemical marker. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was conducted at GMERS Medical College and Hospital from Dec 2015 to July 2016. Thirty patients of type 1 DM and 30 patients of type 2 DM, who were already diagnosed and taking treatment, were included in this study. A total number of 30 apparently healthy individuals were recruited as the control group in our study. Fasting venous blood samples were collected from the cases as well as the controls and they were analysed by using semi auto analyser for blood glucose, serum amylase and serum lipase. The results were analysed statistically by using SPSS software. Values were expressed as means ± SD. RESULTS: We found statistically significant (p<0.01) low values for serum amylase and serum lipase in patients with type 1 and type 2 DM as compared to healthy controls. Fasting blood sugar was significantly higher in cases as compared to controls. We found negative correlation of fasting blood sugar level with serum amylase and serum lipase and positive correlation of serum amylase with serum lipase in both type 1 and type 2 DM. CONCLUSION: Our study clearly demonstrated that in type 1 and type 2 DM, there was increase in fasting blood sugar with decrease in serum amylase and serum lipase which signifies the derangement of endocrine-exocrine axis of the pancreas. Serum amylase and serum lipase can be used as biochemical markers for assessment of pancreatic exocrine function.
