Impact of glycemic control on serum lipoprotein (a) in Arab children with type 1 diabetes

Abstract: In Arab children, highest Lp (a) levels are associated with poorest metabolic control. The prevalence of Lp (a) levels associated with cardiovascular risk is higher in poorly controlled diabetic children. Increased levels of Lp (a) may be another contributing factor to the high risk for CAD in diabetic patients.

“…This is a serious situation and needs to be underlined since in T1DM patients, poor metabolic control is usually due to inadequacies in insulin regimens and these patients are at highest risk for complications and cardiovascular disorders even at an early age (23). …”

“…Lp(a) increases after menopause [25], probably in association with the fall in sexual hormones [26] given that treatment of postmenopausal women with conjugated equine estrogen resulted in a significant reduction in Lp(a) levels [27]. Children with diabetes mellitus type I and poor metabolic control had higher levels of Lp(a) than those with good or fair control [28]. Patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 had higher levels of Lp(a) than non-diabetic subjects, and the levels varied in diabetics with different apo(a) phenotypes [29].…”

“…Elevated levels of serum Lp(a) is also associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease in patients with diabetes [13,14]. It is also a predictor of non-proliferative retinopathy in these patients [15][16][17][18][19]. Lp(a) is present in the arterial wall at sites of atherosclerosis in humans and results in both atherogenesis and thrombosis (3).…”
