Biochemical and hematological variables in patients with DM2 according to the presence of anemia.
| Variables | Anemia | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Yes (n = 50) | No (n = 96) | p value | |
| Hemoglobin (g/dL) | 11,68 ± 0,81 | 13,32 ± 0,85 | <0,0001¥∗ |
| Hematocrit (%) | 35,08 ± 5,23 | 40,45 ± 2,88 | <0,0001µ∗ |
| Red cells (millions/mm3) | 4,23 ± 0,37 | 4,68 ± 0,34 | <0,0001¥∗ |
| Glycemia (mg/dL) | 109,4 ± 40,5 | 133,6 ± 55,2 | 0,005µ∗ |
| Creatinine (mg/dL) | 1,05 ± 0,39 | 1,03 ± 0,27 | 0,944µ |
| Glomerular filtration rate (mL/min) | 91,7 ± 41,9 | 79,9 ± 27,2 | 0,277∗∗ |
¥ indicates p value according to Student's t-test; µ indicates p value according to test of Mann-Whitney; ∗ was considered statistically significant; results presented in average ± standard deviation or median (minimal and maximal value). ∗∗ indicates mean glomerular filtration rate by Cockcroft-Gault equation.
