Anemia syndrome in diabetes mellitus

Anemia has a high prevalence in all countries of the world. According to various authors, in the general adult population it ranges from 2 to 6% and depends on gender, age, race, occupational hazards and chronic diseases [1, 2]. Anemia is most often found in people over 60 years old, pregnant and suffering from various chronic diseases. Among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) 4-5 art. in the general population, the prevalence of anemia is 30-40%, and among patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) and DM2 with CKD 3-5 art. from 45% to 85% In patients without clinical manifestations of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and in patients with DN with preserved kidney function, IDA prevails in the structure of the anemic syndrome. In patients with DN with reduced renal function, AHZ is more common. Almost every third case of anemic syndrome is of a combined nature. Folic acid deficiency does not depend on the state of kidney function.
