Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the effect of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection upon metabolic and inflammatory parameters in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods
A total of 72 patients with T2DM were included in the study. These patients were divided into two groups as H. pylori infection positive or negative. For each patient, the following data were collected: age, gender, duration of diabetics, anti-diabetic treatment, the body mass index (BMI), and laboratory parameters (lipid profile, GLU, HbA1c, HCY, HsCRP, ghrelin, leptin, leukocyte, and platelet counts).
Results
Totally 47 patients (65.28%) were H. pylori positive and 25 patients (34.72%) were H. pylori negative. Diabetic patients infected by H. pylori showed significantly increased Lpa (297.83 ± 299.51 vs 154.24 ± 83.63, p < 0.05), higher HbA1c (9.21 ± 2.15 vs 8.00 ± 1.77, p < 0.05), and decreased leptin (4.59 ± 7.55 vs 9.82 ± 10.76, p < 0.05) than non-infected patients. Additionally, 72.2% of the patients with HbA1c > 7% were found to be H. pylori positive and 44.4% of the patients with HbA1c ≤ 7% were H. pylori positive. The levels of other parameters were not significantly different between two groups (p > 0.05), although CRP levels determined by high-sensitivity assay showed mild and variable increases in H. pylori infection.
Conclusion
H. pylori affects glycemic control in T2DM and might promote the development of diabetes.
