Abstract :
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Cardiovascular disease is caused by atherosclerosis associated with
hypercholesterolemia, especially increased levels of Low Density Lipoprotein
(LDL). Patients with type 2 diabetes who have increased levels of LDL are at
greater risk of suffering from hypertension. The purpose of this study was to
determine differences LDL levels in patients with type 2 diabetes with
hypertension and normotension.
This type of research is a literature study. The sample used in this study
was DM type 2 sufferers aged over 40 years who did not have complications.
LDL levels are measured by direct homogenous assay method. Data analyzed
descriptively.
The results in this study were obtained p value = 0.000 in Rinandyta, SA
research, p value = 0.0001 in Wijanarko et al research and p value = 0.0001 in
Siregar, J. research.
This study found significant differences in LDL levels of type 2 diabetes
patients with hypertension and normotensive with p value <0.05 based on all three
past research used as a reference in this study.
