ORIGINAL ARTICLE Doppler ultrasonographic assessment of major salivary glands in Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in correlation with salivary quantity and serum magnesium levels – A cross-sectional study

Abstract: Background: Diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial genetic disorder, and studies have found that it affects the salivary gland function and levels of micronutrients. Objective: Objective of the study was to assess the Doppler ultrasonographic (USG) changes of major salivary glands in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and to correlate it with the quantity of salivary secretion and serum magnesium levels. Methods: A total of 90 patients diagnosed with Type II diabetes mellitus were categorized into three gro… Show more

“…Increased HbA 1C levels were associated with increased ultrasonographic measurements which were in accordance to a study conducted by Rangdhol et al [ 31 ] ( Table 3 ). The reason for this observation could be the fact that HbA 1C level is directly proportional to the hyperglycemic status of diabetes and chronic hyperglycemia leading to the structural changes in salivary gland including acinar hypertrophy and adipose infiltration [ 8 , 16 , 26 ].…”
