- Background: The prevalence of chronic complications of diabetes, microvascular complications such as diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy and macrovascular complications like coronary heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, and cerebrovascular disease is related to chronic hyperglycaemia condition. Hence the present study has been done to determine the prevalence of Acute Cardiac and Renal Complications in poorly controlled diabetics. Material & Methods: It was a non experimental prospective observational study done in Government General Hospital, Guntur wherein patients attending general medicine ward, both inpatient and outpatients with diabetes mellitus and age ≥ 18 years were evaluated. Results: Out of the total 511 diabetic subjects, 56% (285) had complications related to diabetes. Renal and Cardiac complications were present in30% (n=155), Acute Renal and Cardiac complications in 13.6% (n= 70), Acute Renal complications in 9.7% (n=50), Acute Cardiac complications in 2.9% (n=15), both acute cardiac and renal complications in 0.97% (n=5). Conclusions: From our study we conclude that uncontrolled diabetes for first few years can cause acute cardiac and renal complications which are life threatening and poorly controlled diabetes can cause long term cardiac and renal complications albeit with mortality rate.
