groups were evaluated CMV IgG by ELISA,B. urea, S. Creatinine, cholesterol and triglyceride the results
showed that B.urea, S.creatinine and serum cholesterol showed a non-significant differences between studied
group, While there was significant differences in concentration of triglyceride between both studied group.
The seropositivity of CMV IgG was 62(82.87%) in T2DM patients with significant differences in compare
