title: Clinical report of diabetic patients treated by chronic hemodialysis.
abstract: Twenty one diabetic patients were treated by chronic hemodialysis (HD) in the seven year period from 1975 to 1982 in our Department. The actual one-year and five-year survival rate for diabetic patients treated by maintenance HD were 76% and 43%, respectively. Blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels at the HD induction were 111.95 +/- 28.51 mg/dl and 10.73 +/- 4.56 mg/dl, respectively. There were complications in the form of blindness in 8 cases (38.1%), peripheral nerve impairment in 17 cases (81.0%), myopathy in 8 cases (38.1%), diabetic gangrene in 3 cases (14.3%) and glaucoma in one case (4.8%).
