The association between C-reactive protein with depression in type 2 diabetic patients

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a multifactorial chronic disease which is related to many serious complications. Frequency of depression in patients with type 2 DM seems to be twice more frequent than in the general population. Current literature suggests that type 2 DM is accompanied by a low degree inflammatory process which is involved in diabetic complications, while depression increases also systemic inflammatory reaction. Thus, DM and depression are frequently accompanied by increased levels of hs-CRP. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether depressive symptoms are related to increased hs-CRP levels in type 2 diabetic patients and to evaluate the association of this interaction with the presence of diabetic complications. Also in this study we examined the relationship between hs-CRP and clinical and biochemical parameters. At the same time we sought the interaction between depression and various sociodemographic factors, clinical and biochemical parameters. 200 ...
