Gambaran hematologi rutin dan hubungannya dengan rerata gula darah pada pasien diabetes melitus tipe 2 di Poliklinik Endokrin RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia due to a defect in insulin action, insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells or both. In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), trombopoiesis acceleration and increased turnover and increased hematocrit occur resulting in impaired blood flow velocity. This increased blood viscosity causes vasoconstriction due to thickening of blood vessel walls.This study was aimed to obtain the profile of hematology and its correlation with average blood glucose in type 2 DM patients. This was a descriptive analytical study using patients’ medical record in the Endocrine Clinic of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from August to October 2016. The results of Spearman’s correlation test were as follows: correlation between average blood glucose and hemoglobin concentration with r = 0.083 and p = 0.272; correlation between average blood glucose and levels of hematocrit with r = 0.123 and p = 0.184; correlation between the average glucose blood and levels of erythrocyte with r = 0.121 and p = 0.187; correlation between average blood glucose and platelet with r = 0.052 and p = 0.353; and correlation between average blood glucose and levels of leukocytes with r = 0.247 and p = 0.033. Conclusion: Among type 2 DM patients, there were no significant correlations between average blood glucose level and hemoglobin, hematocrit, and erythrocyte levels, as well as platelet levels. However, there was a significant correlation between average blood glucose and leukocyte level.Keywords: T2 DM, average blood glucose, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets Abstrak: Diabetes Melitus (DM) merupakan suatu kelompok penyakit metabolik yang ditandai oleh hiperglikemia akibat defek pada kerja insulin, sekresi insulin oleh sel beta pancreas, atau keduanya. Pada pasien DM tipe 2 (DMT2) terjadi percepatan trombopoiesis serta peningkatan pergantian trombosit dan hematokrit yang dapat berakibat terhadap kecepatan aliran darah.
