Hypertension is one of most common health problems. According to W.H.O reports almost more than 42 million people throughout the world are suffering from this disease and are increasing day by day. Total 500 male patients hospitalized in different hospitals of Dera ghazi khan district were selected, for which, a concise study designed Performa was prepared to collect the history and data of the patients. A number of parameters such as cholesterol level, serum sodium (Na+) level, abnormality of proteinuria and Hypercholesterolemia were studied to characterize the possible reasons of hypertension in diabetic patients. It has been observed that the prevalence of hypertension was significantly higher in those patients suffering from diabetes. Of the total 500 patients, 399 (67.8%) had hypertension. Out of the total 339 hypertensive patients, 187 (55.16%) were found possessing raised cholesterol level, 179 (52.8%) possessed raised Na+ level, 172 (50.7%) possessed raised K+ level and 159 (46.9%) patients were with proteinuria problems. In our study it was confirmed that higher sodium level, abnormal cholesterol level and the presence of proteinuria were strongly linked to the developing hypertension in diabetics. Therefore we concluded from this study that diabetes and hypertension occur together.
