  1. LABORATORY DIAGNOSTICS OF DIABETES MELLITUS

  2. Epidemiology • About 2 to 4 % of the world population is affected with DM • The disease is more common: • in persons after age 45 • in obese individuals • in certain ethnic groups • in those with a positive family history of DM • In patients with type 1 DM, complications from end stage renal disease are major cause of death, whereas patients with type 2 diabetes are more likely to have macrovascular diseases leading to myocardial infarction and stroke as main causes of the death

  3. Diabetes mellitus (DM) - is endocrine – metabolic disease, which develops due to absolute or relative insulin insufficiency and characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, changes of different systems and organs of patient

  4. Hormones of pancreatic gland

  5. Insulin • Molecular weight of this peptic substance is 6000. • It consists of 51 aminoacidic parts from 16 differentaminoacids • The most important biologic stimulator of insulin secretion is glucose

  6. The action of insulin • Insulin is an anabolic hormone (promotes the synthesis of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids). The most important target organs for insulin action are: • the liver, muscles and adipocytes. • The brain (nervous tissue), retina, lens and blood cells are unresponsive to insulin. • It has no direct influence on kidney also

  7. The action of insulin • Insulin is an anabolic hormone (promotes the synthesis of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids). The most important target organs for insulin action are: • the liver, muscles and adipocytes. • The brain (nervous tissue), retina, lens and blood cells are unresponsive to insulin. • It has no direct influence on kidney also

  8. The effects of insulin oncarbohydrate metabolism • stimulation of glucose transport across muscle and adipose cell membranes; • regulation of hepatic glycogen synthesis; • inhibition of glucose formation – from glycogen (glycogenolysis) and – from amino-acid precursors (glyconeogenesis). • The result of these actions is a reduction in blood glucose concentration.

  9. Protein metabolism: • the transfer of amino acids across plasma membranes; • stimulation of protein synthesis; • inhibition of proteolysis.

  10. Lipid metabolism: • incorporation of fatty acids from circulating triglyceride into adipose triglyceride; • stimulation of lipid synthesis; • inhibition of lipolisis.

  11. Nucleic acids metabolism: • stimulation of nucleic acid synthesis by stimulating the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), DNA and RNF. Other effects: • stimulation of the intracellular flew of potassium, phosphate and magnesium in the heart; • inhibition of inotropic and chronoropic action (unrelated to hypoglycemia).

  12. Pathogenesis of type 1 DM

  13. Etiologic classification of DM (1999) I. Type 1 of DM (destruction of β-cells which mostly leads to absolute insulin insufficiency): • autoimmune; • idiopathic. II. Type 2 of DM (resistance to insulin and relative insulin insufficiency or defect of insulin secretion with or without resistance to insulin). III. Other specific types: • genetic defects of β-cells function; • genetic defects of insulin action; • pancreatic diseases (chronic pancreatitis; trauma, pancreatectomy; tumor of pancreatic gland; fibrocalculosis; hemochromatosis); • endocrine disease (acromegaly, thyrotoxicosis, Cushing’s syndrome); • drug exposures ; • infections and others. IV. Gestation diabetes.

  14. Degrees of severity of DM

  15. Pathogenetic and clinical difference oftype I and type II DM

  16. Pathogenetic and clinical difference oftype I and type II DM

  17. Pathogenetic and clinical difference oftype I and type II DM

  18. Pathophysiology of DM

  19. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) Indications: • borderline fasting or post-prandial blood glucose • persistent glycosuria • glycosuria in pregnant women • pregnant women with a family history of diabetes mellitus and those who previously had large babies or unexplained fetal loss

  20. Glucose tolerance test (GTT)

  21. Screening for diabetes • with typical symptoms of diabetes • __ with a first-degree relative with diabetes • __ who are members of a high risk ethnic group • __ who are overweight (BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m²) • __ who have delivered a baby >4.5 kg or had GDM • __ who are hypertensive (≥ 140/90 mmHg) • __ with raised serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels • __ who were previously found to have IGT or IFG

  22. The basic laboratory measures for screening are: • 1. Fasting capillary blood glucose • 2. Glucosuria • 3. HbA1c • 4. OGTT
