Table 4 Prevalence of Anemia and chronic kidney disease (estimated by glomerular filtration rate) in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects
From: Anaemia and kidney dysfunction in Caribbean Type 2 diabetic patients
Type 2 diabetic patients | Non-diabetic subjects | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Males | Females | Males | Females | |
Anemia (%) (Hb < 12 g/dL [F] or < 13 g/dl [M]) | 22 (47.8) | 50 (45.9) | 2 (9.1)* | 6 (20.7)¶ |
Creatinine (mg/dl) | 1.6 ± 0.2 | 1.0 ± 0.03 | 1.2 ± 0.04 | 0.96 ± 0.03 |
Glomerular filtration rate (ml/min/1.73 m2) (index of kidney function) | 71.9 ± 2.7 | 81.0 ± 4.5 | 83.9 ± 3.1* | 82.6 ± 2.5 |
Chronic kidney disease (%) (estimated GFR < 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2) | 12 (26.7) | 24 (22.2) | 1 (4.5)** | 1 (3.6)¶ |
