摘要

Background: Diabetic and HIV/AIDS patients often suffer electrolyte disturbances but the difference in the degree of derangement in the two conditions is not known. Methods: Serum electrolytes, calcium, Phosphate and total protein were estimated in 60 Diabetics (45 with good glycaemic control, 15 with poor glucose control), 60 HIV/AIDS patients (24 HAART users, 36 non-HAART users) and 60 apparently healthy volunteers who were HIV-seronegative without history of D/M. Results: Mean serum levels of some electrolytes were significantly lower in diabetics and HIV/AIDS patients than in controls, but were much lower in diabetics than in HIV/AIDS patients (p < 0.05). The greater disturbances in serum electrolytes in diabetics improved with glycaemic control. In addition to restoring electrolyte status, HAART use in HIV/AIDS patients significantly improved serum total protein. Conclusion: This study shows that diabetic patients exhibit greater electrolyte disturbances than people living with HIV/AIDS. These preliminary findings warrant future re-examination. Strict monitoring of serum electrolytes in the two conditions is recommended as early detection and treatment of these abnormalities will enhance the quality of life of patients. Introduction With high morbidity and mortality worldwide, diabetes mellitus and HIV/AIDS remain two clinical conditions of public health importance especially in developing countries [1, 2]. However, while HIV/AIDS is caused by human immunodeficiency virus (transmitted through sexual contact, contact with HIV-contaminated sharp objects, body fluids or from mother-to-child), diabetes mellitus may be of viral or genetic and/or environmental aetiology [3, 4].Studies have shown that the incidence of diabetes has been on the increase in recent times with the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for the treatment of HIV/AIDS [5, 6]. It has been shown that HAART-use, especially the protease inhibitors (PI) among HIV/AIDS patients are associated with multiple complex metabolic alterations. Treatment of HIV/AIDS with PIs has been found to induce hyperlipidaemia and insulin resistance [7]. Michael [8] has shown that new-onset diabetes mellitus, clinically similar to type 2 diabetes will affect about (1-6%) of patients infected with HIV and are receiving protease inhibitors. Additionally, treatments with protease inhibitors have been associated with high incidence of osteopenia and osteoporosis with mean serum calcium levels declining with HIV progression [5]. Patients with diabetes mellitus and HIV/AIDS show some similar clinical manifestations such as excessive sweat, diarrhoea, dysuria, tiredness and weight loss [3, 9]. Excessive sweat, diarrhoea and dysuria have been implicated in the abnormalities of electrolyte balance. Furthermore, HIV infection has been associated with renal disease (HIV- associated nephropathy), which is characterized, by nephritic-stage proteinuria (>3.5g/dl), azotaemia, hypoalbuminaemia and occasionally hypocalcaemia [10, 11, 12]. Electrolyte abnormalities and altered mineral metabolism which occur in patients with HIV/AIDS [13] have been found to contribute to bone diseases, cardiovascular diseases and other clinical problems [14].With increase in life expectancy and alterations in lipid and mineral metabolism due to PI therapy, it is expected that diabetes mellitus and hypertension, which may consequently lead to secondary diabetic and hypertensive renal damage, will increase. This study which aims to provide baseline data for the differential diagnosis and effective management of HIV-infected patients who are at the risk of developing diabetes mellitus due to HAART-use will compare the plasma electrolytes, total protein, calcium and phosphate in diabetic and HIV infected Nigerians.
