Diabetes mellitus and myelodysplastic syndromes are unrelated but can exist in combination.
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases caused by impaired insulin secretion and/or utilization. It is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, with “three more and one less” as the typical clinical manifestations, i.e., polydipsia, polyphagia, polyuria and weight loss. Its onset is related to genetic factors, environmental factors and lifestyle.
Myelodysplastic syndrome is a group of neoplastic diseases originating from hematopoietic stem cells. Characterized by pathological hematopoiesis, high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes can transform to acute myeloid leukemia. Its clinical manifestations include anemia, infection, and thrombocytopenia. The exact etiology is unknown.
It can be seen that there is no relationship between the occurrence of the two, but patients can suffer from both diseases at the same time. It is recommended that patients suffering from these two diseases should seek medical treatment in time to avoid blind guessing and prohibit unauthorized use of medication.
