Abstract
The prevalence of anemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, particularly associated with renal dysfunction, remains inadequately studied. Hence, a total of 220 subjects were recruited, with 110 T2DM patients and 110 non-diabetic controls. The Hb levels of T2DM patients were 9.2 g/dl, compared to 13.5 g/dl in controls. Urea levels for T2DM patients were 33.6 mg/dl, while controls had 18.2 mg/dl. Creatinine levels were 1.78 mg/dl in T2DM patients, and 0.81 mg/dl in controls. Thus, we show the prevalence of anemia among T2DM patients attending our hospital. Results indicate a higher prevalence of anemia in T2DM patients, predominantly associated with renal dysfunction.
