Abstract
Background: Anemia is defined as a decrease in the hemoglobin concentration of blood, which accordingly decreases the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells such that they are unable to meet the body’s physiological requirements. Numerous reports have specified that anemia customarily occurs in patients with diabetes with renal insufficiency whereas limited studies have described the occurrence of anemia in people with diabetes prior to indication of renal impairment. Other studies have similarly recognized anemia as a risk factor for the need for renal replacement treatment in diabetes. Understanding the pathogenesis of anemia allied with diabetes can lead to the development of interventions to optimize results in these patients.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was consequently to determine the pervasiveness of anemia among patients with type 2 diabetes.
Materials and Methods: A total of 50 (25 with type 2 diabetes and 25 controls) participants were enlisted for the current study. Participants’ blood samples were analyzed for fasting blood glucose, full blood count and renal function tests among others. The pervasiveness of anemia was then determined statistically.
Results: A high incidence of anemia was perceived in the cases. Of the patients with diabetes, 85 % had a hemoglobin concentration that was significantly less (males 10.88±1.78 and females 10.32±1.52) compared to that of controls (males 14.16±1.82 and females 12.49±1.11). A significantly increased fasting blood glucose, urea, sodium, potassium, and calcium ions were observed in the cases (8.02±1.28, 5.21±2.01, 141.08±7.01, 4.84±0.49 and 1.51±0.28 respectively) as compared to the controls (4.57±0.52, 3.61±2.09, 134.86±6.75, 4.38±0.61 and 1.31±0.31 respectively). Finally, a significant association between hemoglobin concentration and fasting blood glucose was also observed in the cases.
Conclusions: The findings suggest that a high incidence of anemia is likely to occur in patients with poorly controlled diabetes and in patients with diabetes and renal insufficiency.
