Factors Influencing the Incidence of Hypoglycemia in Diabetic Hemodialysis Patients

Abstract

Objective: To explore factors influencing the incidence of hypoglycemia in diabetic hemodialysis patients. Methods: we recorded the valid data from 557 patient from May 2017 to February 2021. This study consists of 3 steps, including collecting step, screening step and analysis step. In collecting step, our mainly task was collecting the data from the eligible patients. In screening step, we assigned patients to hypoglycemia and non-hypoglycemia based on whether they had a hypoglycemic event or not. Also, we will exclude ineligible patient data at this stage. In analysis step, we use software to analyze the data, and analyze related factors by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Result: Compared with non- hypoglycemia group, we found that four factor of hypoglycemia group affect hypoglycemia event, they were significantly difference, including albumin, BMI, age, and hs-CRP (p < 0.05). Other factors were no significantly difference between hypoglycemia group and non- hypoglycemia group. In further analysis, the result displays that albumin, BMI, age, and hs-CRP were independent risk factors for hypoglycemia event (p < 0.05). Conclusion: albumin, BMI, age, and hs-CRP were impact factors of hypoglycemia in diabetic hemodialysis patients. Furthermore, the independent risk factors of hypoglycemia event included albumin, BMI, age, and hs-CRP. Of those, albumin and BMI can be control or affected by drugs or patient behaviors.
