Liver Functions in Type 2 Diabetes Individuals after Pfizer Vaccination in Iraqi Patients

Abstract

Coronavirus is a highly contagious disease, especially in diabetes mellitus type 2. It remains the main cause of death despite the availability of a vaccine. Coronavirus is transmitted via droplets from the nose, mouth, or throat. The study evaluates the biochemical parameters of liver function in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes and the correlation between D-dimer level and platelet count after a second dose of the Pfizer vaccine (14–21) days after vaccination. A study was carried out in al Suwayrah hospital, which included 300 patients aged 20 to 70 years old. one hundred were excluded from this study. A physician diagnosed with Type-2 diabetes mellitus (the ADA) (the American Diabetes Association, 2021) was involved in this study from December 2021 to March 2022. results showed that AST and ALT were normal, while ALP was higher in diabetics compared to controls (ALP was higher in both groups of diabetics vaccinated and non-vaccinated with Pfizer vaccine compared to controls). correlation with no significant effect on platelet count and D-dimer. The current research concludes that there is no effect of the Pfizer vaccine on a biochemical parameter of the liver.
