Frequency of undiagnosed hypertension among diabetic patients with micro vascular complications.

Objectives: To determine the frequency of undiagnosed hypertension among the diabetic patients with micro vascular complications.

Method: This is a descriptive case series conducted at Department of Medicine, Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital, in this six month stud which enrolled 213 patients between 18-60 years from March 28, 2021 to September 28, 2021, having diabetes with microvascular complications. These patients were not previously diagnosed as hypertensives.

Adult anthropometry in Type 2 diabetic population: A case-control study.

Objectives: This study was aimed to compare the body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) in their ability to predict type 2 diabetes risk in a large prospective cohort of men and women in Pakistan.

Methods: This was a case-control study conducted at Diabetic and medical OPD of GTTH. Anthropometric measures including BMI and WHR were analyzed.

Practical implementation of ADA/EASD consensus algorithm in patients with type 2 diabetes in Pakistan.

Objective: To ascertain the effectiveness of implementing the American Diabetes Association/European Association for the Study of Diabetes 2009 consensus algorithm in achieving glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: The prospective, observational, open label, product registry was conducted at 38 sites across 7 cities in Pakistan between July 2011 and February 2014. Uncontrolled type 2 diabetes patients were either initiated on or switched to insulin glargine from other basal insulin.

Reduction of microalbuminuria by using losartan in normotensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A randomized controlled trial.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a worldwide pandemic that may lead to diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a complication which is the single most important and globally prevalent cause of chronic kidney disease. Microalbuminuria has been shown to be an early indicator of DKD and data suggest that angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) reduce urinary albumin excretion and retard the progression of renal disease in hypertensive T2DM patients. However, the effects of ARBs on preventing microalbuminuria and ensuing DKD in normotensive patients with T2DM is yet to be fully established.

Foetomaternal outcome of pregnancy with cardiac disease.

Introduction: To study the prevalence of cardiac disease in pregnancy and to assess the foetomaternal outcomes.

Methods: It was a 5 year descriptive study. All pregnant females with a known or newly diagnosed congenital or acquired cardiac lesion on echo cardiography were included in the study.
