Impact of Diabetes on the Recurrence and Prognosis of Acute Kidney Injury in Older Male Patients: A 10-Year Retrospective Cohort Study

Abstract

Older male patients with diabetes are prone to AKI recurrence after initial onset of AKI. Diabetes is an independent risk factor for AKI recurrence, and active diabetes control (HbA1c < 7%) may thus reduce the recurrence of AKI and improve the very poor outcomes of patients with multiple recurrences of AKI within 2 years.
