On 27th April 2022, Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Sciences (BSc MLS) students/graduates Ms. Arshiya Shadab and Ms. Ilma Hussain, (2017-2021 cohort) research paper was published in Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences a Scopus indexed Journal with her supervisors.
This research highlights on detection of levels of different markers of kidney and liver function and the effect of different drugs in diabetic patients. This article concludes that Metformin/DPP-4 combination gives better glycemic control than other medications, whereas the levels of AST, creatinine and HbA1c are unaffected using either insulin or metformin/DPP-4 inhibitors combination. This will motivate undergraduate and post graduate medical laboratory sciences student researchers to carry out further research and publications in this area.
