Relationship Between Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) & HbA1C in Patients

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an epidemic disease, with approximately 463 million persons diagnosed with it. Of those, 90% are patients with type 2 DM (T2DM). Some estimates indicate that 700 million cases of DM will be reported in 2045. T2DM develops due to insulin resistance, leading to reduced insulin secretion. DM has a number of associated complications, such as nephropathy, neuropathy, and cardiovascular disease.

Clinical Trial Description

The health status of normal individuals and patients with various diseases is commonly monitored using the complete blood count (CBC). In patients with T2DM, the CBC can be used as a follow-up test, which will help in reducing complications associated with the disease. Some CBC parameters have also been used as prognostic markers for T2DM. One of these markers is the red cell distribution width (RDW), which measures the variability in the sizes of red blood cells (RBCs) and is considered an indicator of their heterogeneity. The evidence associating RDW with a higher risk of mortality has been expanding since the initial report of its prognostic utility in heart failure patients. Multiple studies have shown that elevated RDW values are associated with many human diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, and are also associated with disease activity or complications of diseases. The RDW can be used diagnostically in patients with T2DM and other illnesses, as patients with T2DM frequently show alterations in various hematological properties, including changes in the structure, metabolism, and function of blood cells. These alterations can be caused by different factors, such as excessive levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading eventually to oxidative stress and the dysfunction of RBCs. The relationship between RDW and T2DM has been studied for several years, and there are no consistent results. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
