OBJECTIVE: Urinary tract infection (UTI) exists in 9%–20% of female and 3%–11% of male
patients with diabetes. Diabetic patients experience increased risk of bacteremia,
hospitalization, and mortality; however, few studies report long-term renal outcomes of
episodic UTI in diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). RESEARCH DESIGN
AND METHODS: We investigated 225 diabetic patients admitted with UTI from 2001 to 2011.
Based on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) on admission, we divided the patients into early …
