Abstract
The number of individuals afflicted with diabetes has increased dramatically this century. Quality of life in relation to health is subjective and varies from person to person based on their own history of experiences, perspectives, assumptions, and values. A person's emotional, psychological, and social health are all affected by these things. It is important for healthcare providers to understand the societal, psychological, and physiological impacts of long-term conditions like diabetes. More and more people are living with type 2 diabetes, a chronic metabolic disease that has a major influence on people's daily lives. Complications decrease patients' quality of life and raise the likelihood of negative outcomes such emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and death, which in turn effect healthcare spending and the sustainability of services. Objectives: This study aims to examine the correlation between quality of life and renal and liver function tests in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used to assess renal and liver function tests and correlation with quality of life in 200 people suffering from type 2 diabetes. The quality of life as it pertains to one's health was measured using the Arabic numeral 8. The assessment was conducted using a 5-point Likert scale, where responses could be given on a scale from 1 to 5. A lower score indicates good quality of life assessment because the scales are flipped for each part. Results: Overall, high creatinine significantly affected HRQoL in patients with diabetes, with patients' mean scores in all HRQoL domains being significantly higher (P < 0.001) than controls (P value = 0.02 < 0.05). We also found a highly significant correlation between alkaline phosphate and quality of life scores (p value = 0.008 < 0.01). Conclusions: there is a significant correlation between creatinine and quality of life ahigh concentration of creatinine lead to significantly lower health-related quality of life in various domains .in respect to liver function tests we obtained a highly significant correlation between alkaline phosphate and quality of life.
