Managing diabetes in dialysis patients

Abstract: Burgeoning levels of diabetes are a major concern for dialysis services, as diabetes is now the most common cause of end-stage renal disease in most developed nations. With the rapid rise in diabetes prevalence in developing countries, the burden of end stage renal failure due to diabetes is also expected to rise in such countries. Diabetic patients on dialysis have a high burden of morbidity and mortality, particularly from cardiovascular disease, and a higher societal and economic cost compared to non-diabet… Show more

“…This could be related to the higher morbidity and mortality that these patients suffer from cardiovascular disease, alongside other problems such as more frequent loss of vascular access. 22 The incidence of patients starting RRT for diabetic nephropathy is rising with a corresponding increase in the challenge to preserve quality of life for these patients.…”

“…Within this subgroup of patients, improving diabetes control and attainment of treatment target values is known to be more difficult to achieve. 3 This audit reiterates the importance of adjusting of antihyperglycaemic medication for dialysis and non-dialysis days. Overwhelming majority of patients (57%) had hypoglycaemic episodes on days of dialysis.…”

“…In the UK approximately one third of patients with diabetes will develop ESRD, with a significant proportion of these patients requiring Renal Replacement Therapy. 3 Hypoglycaemia is common in diabetes patient who receive maintenance haemodialysis. This is thought to be due to; impaired renal gluconeogenesis, malnutrition, and the increased half-life of antihyperglycaemic agents.…”

“…15 As patients with type 2 diabetes evolve from chronic renal failure to ESRD, insulin requirements decrease and may disappear completely, a phenomenon known as "burnt out" diabetes. 16 While having diabetes or chronic renal failure independently raises the chance of hypoglycemia, this risk is highest when both conditions are present simultaneously.…”
