Study of Some Blood Indicators Associated with Infection with the Intestinal Parasite Giardia Lamblia in Diabetic Patients

Abstract

This study was conducted on people attending hospitals in Babil Governorate and its environs from October 2022 to March 2023 to determine the relationship between the intestinal parasite Giardia lamblia and its relationship to diabetes by determining some blood indicators (Erythrocytes sedimentation, White Blood Cells, Hemoglobin, packed cell volume rate, and Hemoglobin). Blood Sugar High Density Lypoproteinuric acid serum.creatinin Blood .urea 'A1c Reactive protein cholesterol - (This study included the collection of (123) samples, of which (15) were stool samples from people who were confirmed to be infected with the Giardia lamblia parasite only to determine some epidemiological indicators of the parasite, including age, sex and (8) blood samples for people whose infection with the Giardia lamblia parasite and diabetes were associated with both, and (50) blood samples for people with diabetes only and comparing them with (50) blood samples from healthy people. There was a significant difference (P < 0.05) that reached (80) and (20), respectively.The results also showed that the highest percentage of infection with Giardia alamplia parasite was in the age group (1-10 years). The lowest infection rate was in the 40-year age group, with significant differences reaching 46.7% and (13.3%), respectively. The results showed that the infection rate in females infected with G. 37.5%. The results for people infected with the G.lamblia parasite and diabetes mellitus indicated an increase in the concentration of white blood cells, the volume of packed cells, and a decrease in the level of blood sedimentation and hemoglobin, which amounted to 9.2 cells / mm (40%), (12.3 g / dl, (28 mm / hr) on the Respectively, compared to the control group (7.5 cells / mm), (43), (20) 14.5 g / dl, respectively. As for people with diabetes only, the results showed an increase in the concentration of white blood cells and a decrease in the concentration of packed cell volume, hemoglobin, and sedimentation rate. It reached (4 cells / mm), (42.5), 13.2 g/dl. (28mm/hr respectively). (Compared to the control group (7.5 cells/mm), (43.5%), g/dl 14.5) (20mm/hr respectively). The study showed the results of the biochemical parameters of people infected with the parasite and diabetes, an increase in the concentration of glucose, cumulative sugar, C-reactive protein, high-density lipoproteins for cholesterol, urea, cholesterol, a slight increase in the concentration of uric acid, and a slight decrease in the concentration of creatinine with no significant difference, and it reached mg / dl, (14.9 ) mg/dl, (8.9%), (224) mg/dl 1) 0.9mg/dl, (4.6mg/dl), (164mg/dl), (35 mg/dl), respectively, compared to a group control in which it was 1.2mg/dl (30mg/dl (5.5mg/dl (5.5), (93mg/dl), 0.95mg/dl), (4.3mg/dl (160mg/dl)) (respectively and for diabetics only The study found an increase in the level of glucose, cumulative sugar, C-reactive protein, high-density lipoproteins for cholesterol, uric acid, cholesterol and urea, and a slight increase in the concentration of Creatinine (179 (5mg/dl) (1.1 mg/dl) (10.7 mg/dl) (8.6%) ( 225.6 mg/dl)(0.76mg/dl), (334mg/dl mg/dl), respectively
