Background: Anemia is a common finding in patients with diabetes mellitus which increases the progress of the diabetic complications. There are several factors which cause anemia out of renal failure in diabetics. In this study, we aimed to investigate the frequency of anemia and factors that decreases hgb levels in diabetic patients
Methods: This retrospective study includes 207 diabetic patients that were hospitalized between january 2019 and january 2020 at Eskișehir Osmangazi University Hospital, Endocrinology department. Patient’s data included demographics, complicationts, medications and labaroutary results. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin (Hgb) concentrations < 13 g/dl in men and < 12 g/dl in women
Results: Of 207 hospitalized patients with diabetes 42% had anemia. Diabetic males had a higher rate of anemia compared to females (54.7% vs 34.8% respectively, P < 0.008) Diabetic patients with a history of diabetic foot ulcer were more likely to be anemia. However there was no relationship between albuminuria and anemi frequency in diabetics without renal failure.
Conclusion: In this study we’ve found a positive correlation between diabetic foot ulcer and anemia. On the other hand there was no significant difference between macrovascular and microvascular complications with anemia. Patients with a history of diabetic foot ulcer should be considered anemia predictor and treated earlier.
