Abstract EN
The measurement of glycemia in subjects with renal failure, thus treated with hemodialysis, or peritoneal dialysis, is clinically relevant, since glucose levels may influence the determination of other solutes, such as creatinine, as well as some ions, such as sodium, whose degree of removal during dialysis sessions should be controlled carefully.
Also, glucose levels should be controlled to avoid possible events of hypoglycemia during the treatment, especially in diabetic subjects.
Indeed, even cases of hypoglycemic coma are documented.
The glucose measurement during the dialysis treatment can be performed with different sensors and technologies: for instance, with traditional glucose meters, with instruments for continuous glucose monitoring, or with optical sensors.
The aim of this review study was to analyze these different approaches and briefly discuss possible advantages and limitations.
