Commentary The prevalence and complications of urinary tract infections in women with gestational diabetes mellitus: Facts and fantasies
نویسنده
چکیده
The prevalence of symptomatic urinary tract infections [UTI] and/or asymptomatic bacteriuria in female diabetic patients has been reported as increased or unchanged 2,7,8 compared to non-diabetic subjects. Suggested mechanisms for the greater susceptibility of the diabetic urinary tract to infection include decreased antibacterial activity of the urine as a result of dilution of inhibitory substances such as urea, defects in polymorphonuclear leukocyte function or cellular immunity as a result of hyperglycaemia and increased adhesive capacity of bladder epithelium. The infection rate is not influenced by duration or type of diabetes mellitus nor by the quality of diabetic control in non-pregnant patients.
