Özet

Background: Cardiovascular risk associated with impaired fasting glucose has been examined in various studies with conflicting results. During the last 10 years, several risk markers for atherosclerosis such as fibrinogen and D-dimer have been identified. The present study was designed to evaluate plasma fibrinogen and D-dimer levels in patients with impaired fasting glucose compared with normal subjects and those with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
