Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide according to World Health Organization reports. Anemia is common in patients with DM and anemia is a common hematological disorder in diabetic patients. In our study, we aimed to determine the anemia prevalence and the causes that affect anemia in patients with DM with normal renal function. Materials and Methods:Patients with DM who applied to Eskişehir Osmangazi University Medical Faculty Hospital (the clinics of Family Medicineand Internal Medicine) was included in our study and 229 patients with DM who were not diagnosed with renal dysfunction were included in our study within the last 6 months examinations. Laboratory results that were reviewed in the last 6 months were retrospectively screened and recorded. The hemoglobin (Hb) limit values were evaluated as 12 grams/deciliter (g/dl) in females and 13 g/dl in males and patients with Hb levels below these values were accepted as anemia. The data obtained at theend of the studywere analyzed by using SPSS package program. Results:DM patients with normal renal function were included in the study. %25.8 (n=59) of patients had anemia. While 20.3% of the anemia was microcytic anemia, 79.7% was non-microcytic anemia (macrocytic and normocytic anemia). Iron deficiency was found in 57.1% (n = 32), while B12 deficiency was found in 11.8% (n = 7) and folic acid deficiency was found in 3.3% (n = 2) of patients with anemia. Iron deficiency was found in 9.9% (n = 14) of DM patients without anemia. Conclusion:Iron deficiency is the most diagnosed reason of anemia in DM patients. As the clinicians, we can provide early diagnosis and treatment of anemia in diabetic patients especially iron deficiency andwe can improve the quality of life of patients and decrease morbidity and mortality.
