ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/AIMS:
To assess the impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on clinical outcome in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on a 3-year follow-up.METHODS:
58 ESRD patients were divided into 2 groups according to the presence of DM. We analyzed following end points death, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalizations due to cardiovascular causes, revascularization, and combined end point.RESULTS:
Among diabetics, 14 (77.8%) had significant atherosclerotic changes, in the group without DM only 8 (38.1%), p = 0.01. In the group without DM, 14 (46.7%) patients reached combined end point, while in the group with DM 16 (53.3%) patients, p = 0.0013. There were no statistical differences in mortality (p = 0.423).CONCLUSION:
Survival of hemodialyzed diabetic patients is not inferior to nondiabetics; however, morbidity is significantly higher due to adverse cardiac events.
