Description
Lu and co-authors look for simple blood markers that flag urine infection risk in women with type 2 diabetes. These women face urine infections more often than others, and the infections can turn severe. Their 2025 study reviews 136 women treated at one hospital in Taizhou, China, of whom thirty had a positive urine culture.
One score stood out: a nutrition index built from blood protein and white cell counts. Women with lower scores were more likely to be infected, as were women with higher fasting blood sugar. The most common germ was Escherichia coli, found in nearly half the positive cases, and it resisted one common drug in most tests. The authors suggest the nutrition score could help flag patients who need closer watch.
