OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical characteristics of hospital infection in diabetic nephropathy(DN). METHODS To retrospectively analyze the incidence rate of hospital infection,the infection sites,pathogenic bacteria,and predisposing factors in 348 cases with diabetic nephropathy,and to compare the index above with the homeochronous 466 diabetic patients without DN. RESULTS Sixty two cases occurred hospital infection from 348 cases with DN,the infection rate was 17.82%,the infection sites were most frequently in respiratory tract(37.10%),then urinary tract(24.19%) and digestive tract(19.35%),the major predisposing factors were out of control of blood glucose,renal sufficiency,advanced age,and longer stay in hospital. CONCLUSIONS The incidence rate of hospital infection is higher,the valid measures to control the hospital infection are to control the blood glucose effectively,to improve the renal function and timely to use the method of anti-infection with forcefulness.
