- Abstract
The presence of dyslipoproteinemia in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus represents a major risk to macrovascular complications, which constitutes the main cause of morbidity and mortality of these patients in adulthood. Objective. Our objective was to identify the presence of lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities in these patients and the relationship between glycemic control and dyslipoproteinemia. Material and method. Material was represented by 53 children with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Methods: clinical examination, measurement of plasma cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein B100, lipoperoxides and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c). Results. High plasma lipid levels were presented in 15,09% of cases and a positive association between plasma cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and HbA1c was found. The patients also had significantly elevated apolipoprotein B100 levels in 39,47% of cases and increased lipoperoxide levels in 27,77% of cases, regardless of glycemic control. Conclusions. The presence of dyslipoproteinemia in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes is directly related to glycemic control and is dominated by qualitative changes, that is an important aspect to appreciate the atherogenic risk.
