Prevalence and Risk Factors of Asymptomatic Gall Stone in Patient with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

, Aims To study the prevalence of asymptomatic gall stone in type 2 diabetes mellitus. To study the relationship of Risk Factors with gall stone disease. . Material & Method The present study was conducted on 100 diabetic subjects, out of which 62 were males and 38 were females. All the patients were diagnosed case of Type 2 diabetes mellitus patient or newly detected Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients which admitted in J. A. Group of Hospitals and who attend Medicine OPD were included. BMI measurement and ultrasound examination to find gallstone was done. Blood samples were taken for HbA1C, FBS, Lipid profile and the association between duration of diabetes, lipid levels, FBS, with gallstone was evaluated. Results prevalence rate of asymptomatic gallstone found to be 26 % in diabetic patients.65.38 % were females other hand only 34.16 % male patients have gall stone (P= 0.001). Among the female patients with asymptomatic gall stone 52 % was multiparous and 30.76 % was primiparous (P=0.02). The mean BMI (body mass index) of study group with gall Stone Age 27.77+ 3.29. It shows that there is a very significant positive correlation of BMI with the incidence of gall stone in diabetic population (P value 0.01). Among patient with dyslipidemia and gall stone 73.07 % have hypertriglyceridemia followed by raised LDL (42.30 %) and raised total cholesterol (34.61 %) but On statically analysis it is found that serum triglyceride and serum cholesterol level shows positive correlation with incidence gall stones. (P=0.002 & P= 0.01 respectively) Conclusion The prevalence of asymptomatic gallstones in middle-aged and elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is high. Female, total cholesterol, and BMI were risk factors for asymptomatic gallstones in middle-aged and elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
