A regular dialytic treatment of diabetic patients is until accepted from about twenty years in many areas. Aim of this work was a retrospective analysis of main clinical and survival data of diabetic patients (diabetic nephropathy or diabetes as comorbidous factor = 659 cases) admitted for dialysis in Piedmont (Northern Italy Region about 4,400,000 inhabitants) in the period 1981-1993 (functional recovery and follow-up < 1 month excluded). A progressive increment in incidence of diabetic patients was seen mostly in the aged. At 12/31/1993, 263 of 2404 patients admitted for dialysis were diabetics (10.9%); the majority of them was treated in Hospital Centers with bicarbonate haemodialysis (54.4%), while a small group was treated with CAPD (12.9%). During the years ¿80 was seen a progressive leaving of CAPD as first choice method in this population and in the last period the orienteering is the utilization of mixed methods (diffusive-convective as first choice). As regards the survival are not prominent significant differences between this cohort and the cohort affected by vasculopathy as comorbidous factor (86.2 and 54.2% in diabetics vs 78.6 and 55.2% in patients affected by vasculopathy at 1 and 3 years--p = 0.3481; patients aged 45-64 years). In conclusion the cohort of diabetic patients represent a good marker of the clinical problems of the elder population with high clinic risk, in progressive increasing in our Region.
