[Frequency of diabetes mellitus and nature of treatment in urologic diseases].

In a comparative period of 20 years is reported on the frequency of diabetes mellitus in urological diseases. It was found that 0.87% of the patients suffer from a concomitant diabetes. The peak of the disease is between the 60th and 70th year. As to the distribution of sex was established that the concomitant diabetes is to be found more frequently in males (ratio 2.4: 1). The lethality in diabetics with a urological disease is with 9.4% more than twice as high as in the other urological patients (4.3%). At the top of the immediate causes of death is the cardiovascular failure (30.7%), followed by the pulmonary blood clot embolism and the uraemic coma with 15.4% each. A diabetic coma never appeared. In the analysis of the urological diseases with concomitant diabetes the lithiasis (34.4%) is in the first place; then follow the adenoma of the vesical cervix (32.4%), the chronic relapsing pyelonephritis (12.9%), and the malignant tumours (7.1%). Many urological forms of diseases appeared combined. In the investigation of the complications without lethal exitus which appeared in 25.1% of all cases with concomitant diabetes the cardiovascular failure is again in the first place, then follow thrombotic diseases, urea-nitrogen disturbances. Peculiarities in conduction and treatment of the diabetes mellitus are shown and a close collaboration between several specialities is considered necessary.
