Abstract
Hepatitis B and C viruses could be found in diabetes patients and increase the severity of the disease. A major worldwide public health issue is vitamin D deficiency. It has a significant role in the development of type 2 diabetes. Objectives: To address the correlation of some biomarkers such as [Vitamin D3, S. Ferritin, and total serum bilirubin], HCV, and HBV with diabetes mellitus type 2 of patients from Kirkuk city, Iraq this study has been performed. The current study was case-control study, included 100 diabetic patients and 100 non-diabetic patients, which was achieved on patients with diabetes mellitus type II within age group [25-75] years, who showed up at Kirkuk General Hospital from the period of January 1st 2024 to January 15th 2025. HCV, HBV, Vit. D3, S. Ferritin, and TSB were evaluated for both the patients and control groups. The current study, displayed the greatest ratio 20 [40%] of diabetic male were within age group [66-75] years old, while the lowest proportion 3 [6%] of male with diabetes mellitus in age group [25-35] years old. There was lowering of vitamin D3 mean levels [14.50±3.42 ng/ml] within diabetic patients in comparison to the non-diabetic ones [48.83±10.89 ng/ml]. Seven diabetic patients out 100 had HCV infection in comparison to only 1 non-diabetic patient that had HCV infection, the variances were not-significant [P=0.065]. 10% of the diabetic patients had HBV infection in matching to 1% of the non-diabetic individuals had HBV infection and the variations were significant [P=0.033].: Diabetes mellitus are more prevalent among elderly patients. HCV and HBV infections could be associated with diabetes mellitus and male patients. Lowering of Vitamin D3 and S. Ferritin levels could be correlated with old-ages and diabetes mellitus.
