High prevalence of chronic kidney disease among patients with diabetic foot: A cross-sectional study at a tertiary hospital in China

Nephrology Oct 31, 2019

Zhang Z, et al. - Researchers determined the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among diabetic foot (DF) patients in this cross-sectional analysis performed at a tertiary hospital. From May 2015 to October 2018, 42,132 inpatients with diabetes mellitus were enrolled. Selection of 447 DF patients was done and excluded patients were 116 with incomplete data. Finally, 361 DF patients aged 67.9 ± 12.2 years were examined. Findings revealed a high prevalence of CKD among DF patients, which was 49.0%, a value higher than that noted for the general inpatients. Uric acid, homocysteine, and HBA1C were identified as the variables that showed correlation with CKD after adjusting for potential confounders in the multivariable logistic regression analysis. Based on the findings, experts recommended giving special attention to DF patients having CKD.
