Ferritin level and blood parameters in patients with hypertension and diabetes

Abstract

Diabetes and hypertension are two of the most prevalent chronic diseases in the world. In this investigation, ferritin, Na, and K levels in serum as well as certain tests for liver and kidney function were estimated and compared between hypertensive, diabetic, and healthy persons.
The current study was an analytical and observational study conducted at a hospital. Total 60 patients and 30 healthy volunteers were included, three groups comprised, each group involved 30 diagnosed hypertension patients, diabetes mellitus patients and healthy volunteers (with normal values). The results showed significant differences among control and patient groups in potassium and ferritin and urea level. While, nonsignificant change in test liver enzymes, neither with normal nor with patient groups were observed.
