Is there a need to optimize glycemic control in hemodialyzed diabetic patients?

32 Citationer (Scopus)

Abstract

The report of Williams et al. gives rise to at least two important questions regarding diabetic patients on maintenance hemodialysis: (1) Does glycemic control play a significant role? (2) Is HbA1c a reliable measure of glycemic control? These questions are discussed. It is recommended that you treat ESRD patients with diabetes according to guidelines given for patients without ESRD.
