Urinary tract infection (UTI) is classically assumed to be a clinically relevant problem for patients with diabetes . Thank you for submitting a comment on this article. The first is that no significant differences regarding the function and size of the kidneys were found between bacteriuric and nonbacteriuric women with diabetes. 2015; 8: 129–136. II.

The etiology, pathogenesis, and management of UTI, and its local, and more remote complications are discussed in … Search for other works by this author on: This observation is in agreement with a recent study [The fact that causative organisms of urinary infection and their susceptibility patterns to the most common antimicrobials were similar between women with and women without diabetes means that both groups of patients had similar risk factors for developing antimicrobial resistance at the time of entry into the study. A urinary tract infection is a bacterial infection that grows within the urinary tract – anywhere from the kidneys, the ureters, the bladder and through to the urethra.. Urinary tract infections can be a particular problem for people with diabetes as sugar in the urine makes for a fertile breeding ground for bacteria..

The increased risk of UTIs and genital infections seemed to have a dose–response relationship for dapagliflozin only. No factors that had a significant modification effect on these infectious events were detected in meta‐regression analysis.The present study found that canagliflozin, dapagliflozin and empagliflozin were associated with a significantly higher risk of genital infections compared with placebo and other active treatments. However, since the concept of significant bacteriuria was introduced, the reported data on the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) among patients with diabetes appear to be conflicting [Various risk factors for ASB in women with diabetes have been suggested (e.g., age, sexual intercourse, disease duration, quality of metabolic control of disease, and status of diabetic complications [Two hundred twenty-eight women aged 14–87 years with diabetes mellitus type 1 (52 patients) or type 2 (176 patients) were enrolled in our study from January 1997 through December 2000.
