Red Blood Cell Parameters and Their Correlation with Renal Function Tests Among Diabetes Mellitus Patients: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study.

Published in: Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy (2020)

The mean values of RBC parameters (RBC, Hgb, Hct, and MCV) for DM patients were found significantly lower than the control groups. Besides a significant negative correlation was found between Cr and RBC indices (RBC, Hgb, Hct, and MCV) in DM patients. It is, therefore, suggested that RBC parameters abnormalities should be evaluated and treated periodically in DM patients for better prognosis and quality of life.
