Glucose levels vary in diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to the burnt-out diabetes phenomenon. The presence of hypo and/or hyperglycemia in hospitalized patients increases morbidity and mortality. In this retrospective, observational, descriptive study, we looked for the incidence and factors associated with hypo and/or hyperglycemia episodes in a cohort of hospitalized patients. 106 patients were included; the incidence of hypoglycemia was 49.06%, and hyperglycemia 45.28%. Patients with hypoglycemia had a longer history of diabetes than those without (p = 0.0004) and/or were hospitalized for infra-dialysis (OR = 4.08, 95% CI 1.38-13.66, p = 0.016). Patients with hyperglycemia had a higher leucocyte count (p = 0.0055). These risk factors should be promptly identified in hospitalized patients to avoid hypo and/or hyperglycemia.
