valuation of liver Aminotransferase Among Type 2 Diabetic Patients Attending Gharyan Central Hospital

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a growing global health concern, characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, resulting from defective insulin action and secretion, T2DM is frequently associated with abnormalities in the liver function, which may reflect underlying metabolic disturbances and early hepatic involvement. This study aimed to evaluate the levels of liver aminotransferase ( ALT, AST) and ALP in patients with type 2 diabetes in Gharyan central hospital. The finding showed that patients with T2DM had elevated liver enzyme levels, (ALT, AST and ALP were 19%, 15%, 41% respectively), suggesting possible subclinical liver dysfunction. These results highlight the importance of routine liver enzyme assessment in the clinical follow-up of individuals with T2DM, as early detection of hepatic abnormalities may improve patient management and reduce the risk of diabetes- related complications
