| Abstract | ||
| The present study aims to investigate the possible alteration of electrolyte homeostasis due to osmotic variations caused by diabetes mellitus and the possible association of serum electrolytes and hyperglycemia caused by the disease. Serum electrolyte levels in diabetics and non-diabetic people were monitored in Misan Province.. Each group consists of 20 persons, 14 males and 6 females. The age of the diabetic patients group ranged between 23-71 years. In the non-diabetic group, age varied between 25-56 years in males and 23-72 in females. The findings of the present study confirmed slight variations in electrolyte balance in diabetes II patients compared with normal people in Misan Province. The variations were significant in the case of calcium ions. Diabetics showed higher values of sodium and lower values of potassium than the normal group. Results were discussed given the contradicted findings of hyper- and hypo-electrolyte levels in diabetes in previously reported investigations. | ||
