We carried out a retrospective survey to assess prevalence and type of diabetes in three Italian Renal Units located respectively in the North (Tradate, Varese), in the Middle (Latina) and in the South (Reggio Calabria) of Italy. The prevalence of diabetes among patients accepted for RRT was 10.5% (60/659). 40 patients (66.7%) were non-insulin dependent and only 6 patients were insulin-dependent. A similar pattern was observed among the 289 patients referred to the Renal Unit of Reggio Calabria during 1972-1987 for evaluation of Chronic Renal Failure. Our data suggest that among the Italian diabetic patients treated by dialysis and transplantation insulin-dependent diabetes is uncommon. This finding could be explained by the low incidence of insulin-dependent diabetes in Italy.
我们开展了一项回顾性调查,以评估分别位于意大利北部(特拉达泰、瓦雷泽)、中部(拉蒂纳)和南部(雷焦卡拉布里亚)的三个意大利肾脏科单位中糖尿病的患病率及类型。接受肾脏替代治疗(RRT)的患者中糖尿病患病率为10.5%(60/659)。40名患者(66.7%)为非胰岛素依赖型,仅有6名患者为胰岛素依赖型。在1972年至1987年期间转诊至雷焦卡拉布里亚肾脏科单位评估慢性肾衰竭的289名患者中也观察到了类似模式。我们的数据表明,在接受透析和移植治疗的意大利糖尿病患者中,胰岛素依赖型糖尿病并不常见。这一发现可以用意大利胰岛素依赖型糖尿病的低发病率来解释。
