ASSOCIATION OF VISFATIN IN OBESE PATIENTS OF DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY

Objective: Visfatin is anticipated as an adipocytokine secretion from the fat of visceral & level of its blood associate with fatness, high blood sugar & swelling. The purpose of this research work was to check the relationship of the serum visfatin with measures of fatness in a collection of patients suffering with diabetic disease of the kidneys & the normal healthy controls.  

Methodology: This research work was a transverse study analysing sixty participants including thirty patients and thirty healthy controls. Anthropometric calculations carried out with the utilization of the standard procedures & visfatin calculation carried out with the help of EIA Kit.

Results: Serum visfatin in the fat participants of the both groups were not much dissimilar from the non-fat participants. We gained a positive association of visfatin with body mass index but no relationship with the circumference of the waist & the ratio of waist to hip. Serum visfatin in the participants of the DN (diabetic nephropathy) & non diabetic’s participants was 9.2 ± 5.4 vs. 5.2 ± 3.4.  

Conclusion: Serum visfatin is not associated with the identifiers of visceral fatness together with circumference of the waist & ratio of waist to hip. However, a clear association is present with the body mass index (BMI). Future research works with high amount of the size of samples & calculating expression of the visceral tissues of visfatin may elaborate its possible part in the visceral fatness.
