The College of Education for Pure Sciences Discusses a Master’s Thesis on:
Evaluation of Biochemical Parameters (C-peptide, Insulin, Insulin Resistance, Liver Function Tests, and Complete Blood Count) in Diabetic Patients
The Chemistry Department at the College of Education for Pure Sciences, University of Kerbala, discussed a Master’s thesis entitled: “Evaluation of Biochemical Parameters (C-peptide, Insulin, Insulin Resistance, Liver Function Tests, and Complete Blood Count) in Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Fatty Liver Disease.”
The thesis was presented by student Muammal Abdul-Jabbar Muhammad Hussein, under the supervision of Asst. Prof. Dr. Rehab Jassim Muhammad (first supervisor) and Asst. Prof. Dr. Mahmoud Aziz Muhammad (second supervisor).
The study aimed to evaluate biomarkers such as C-peptide, insulin resistance, liver function, and blood count in diabetic patients with fatty liver disease. It also sought to compare the first and second stages of the disease, determine the impact of diabetes on these variables, and identify the correlations between the biomarkers.
The study concluded that patients exhibited severe metabolic disturbances and significant insulin resistance, with markedly elevated liver enzymes, particularly in advanced and alcoholic cases. The results demonstrated a systemic inflammatory response and clear hematological changes directly linked to fat accumulation within liver cells and impaired organ function.
The study recommended routine screening of diabetic patients for early detection of fatty liver disease, emphasizing lifestyle modifications through dietary regulation and increased physical activity. Complete abstinence from alcohol is essential to prevent further liver damage, along with regular monitoring of lipid levels and blood parameters.
