Assessment of Iron Status in Female Metabolic Syndrome Patients

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study to evaluate Serum iron in metabolic syndrome female patients.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.

Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the department of Physiology of Abwa Medical College, Faisalabad from January 2021 to July 2022.

Materials and Methods: We were registered 100 healthy women as control and 100 metabolic syndrome female patients were enrolled as test. Exclusion criteria respiratory, renal, thyroid disorders subjects, suffering from cardiovascular, liver disease.  Blood pressure was taken   and measured waist circumference, height and weight and  calculated BMI .  blood was taken  at aseptic precaution  and sent  for  Biomolecules  assay  of plasma glucose, TIBC, ferritin, creatinine, serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase,  serum iron. Biochemistry samples were analyzed by MIcrolab 300 and kits used of Merk Pvt. SPSS used for statistical analysis.

Results: Result showed that Fasting blood glucose (145.7± 4.2) and total triglyceride (280.3 ± 31.2) were significantly higher in test subjects. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure was also higher in test subjects. in test subject. It was found that serum ferritin (204.46 ± 23.63) was significantly higher and TIBC was significantly lower. Some parameter were not significant in both groups (Serum iron and TS ).

Conclusion: Our study results showed that metabolic syndrome is associated with higher iron status in female patients.
