Article Synopsis
- Glycemic variability (GV) significantly increases the risk of complications in diabetic patients, especially those with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on hemodialysis, but research on this specific group is limited.
- The study included 150 hemodialysis patients, comparing 93 with type 2 diabetes to 57 nondiabetic patients, revealing that diabetic patients had much higher mean blood glucose levels and poorer GV indices on hemodialysis days.
- Factors such as higher HbA1c levels, older age, and hyperlipidemia were linked to increased GV, indicating a need for urgent interventions in diabetic ESKD patients to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.

Introduction: Chronic and post-prandial hyperglycemia are independent risk factors for diabetic complications. Glycemic patterns among hemodialysis end-stage-renal-disease (ESRD) differ as glucose metabolism changes with declining kidney function with more pronounced glycemic fluctuations. The objectives of this study are to determine glycemic patterns on hemodialysis days, the magnitude of post-hemodialysis rebound hyperglycemia (PHH) and their associated factors.
