The frequency and structure of anemіa syndrome in patients with dіabetes mellitus

Abstract

In clinical practice anemia against a background of type 1 diabetes is common and certainly has a negative impact on the prognosis and course of diabetes. Aim of this  work is to study the frequency and structure of anemіa syndrome in patients with diabetes mellitus. Materials and methods. 100 patients with diabetes mellitus  were examined. Complete blood count, blood chemistry analysis and tests of blood creatinine, serum iron, ferritin, transferrin, vitamin B 12 and folic acid  were carried out to determine the anemia nature. GFR was determined by the MDRD formula. Results. It was revealed that IDA and AСD are dominated in the structure  of anemic syndrome in patients with type 1 diabetes: IDA is more common in diabetic patients with normal renal function. Nevertheless AСD is more  common in diabetic patients with CKD. Combined pathogenetic character has almost every third case of anemia syndrome. Conclusions. Anemia reduces the quality  of  life, leads to rapid progression of micro- and macrovascular diabetic complications, increasing the risk of death in patients with cardiovascular disease, so the  timely  diagnosis and treatment of anemia is highly important.
