Diabetes is one of the most catastrophic diseases ruling every corner of the world, and this has led to elevated incidents of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). The standard treatment for ESKD is kidney transplantation/replacement, which is limited due to a deficiency of donors. Hence, dialysis has become the second-best option for treating patients with ESKD. Patients with ESKD with underlying diabetes have an additional risk of complications and infections over non-diabetic ESKD patients. Furthermore, these patients also experience variations in blood glucose levels and are more liable to develop malnutrition. This article elaborates on the different dialysis methods for ESKD patients. This editorial highlights the evidence-based studies that include randomized clinical trials, cohort studies, retrospective studies and case-control studies and suggests the most suitable type of dialysis under the following components.
糖尿病是肆虐全球各个角落的最具灾难性的疾病之一,这导致了终末期肾病(ESKD)发病率的上升。ESKD的标准治疗方法是肾脏移植/替代,但由于供体短缺,这种方法受到限制。因此,透析已成为治疗ESKD患者的次优选择。患有潜在糖尿病的ESKD患者比非糖尿病ESKD患者有更高的并发症和感染风险。此外,这些患者还会出现血糖水平波动,更容易发生营养不良。本文阐述了ESKD患者的不同透析方法。这篇社论重点介绍了包括随机临床试验、队列研究、回顾性研究和病例对照研究在内的循证研究,并在以下几个方面建议了最合适的透析类型。
