Our cross-sectional, non-interventional study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of anemia and its subtypes, as well as their interactions, in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: A total of 227 patients previously diagnosed with T2D were enrolled. These patients were assessed regarding their medical history and the evolution of their diabetes, and were screened for anemia. Results: Anemia was encountered in 32.6% of the 227 hospitalized patients previously diagnosed with T2D enrolled in this study. Its presence was associated with a higher prevalence of complications and comorbidities, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), retinopathy, and atrial fibrillation. The most common types of anemia observed were those associated with CKD, other chronic conditions, and iron deficiency. A moderate, positive correlation (r = 0.307; p &lt; 0.0001) has been observed between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and hemoglobin, and a moderate, negative correlation has been observed between age and hemoglobin (r = \u22120.351; p &lt; 0.0001), with the results also analyzed using multiple regression and ROC curve analysis. Additionally, a weak, positive, yet statistically significant correlation was observed between glycemic values and hemoglobin levels, which requires further research. Conclusions: Anemia is frequently encountered in patients with T2D, especially in those with increased age, decreased eGFR, and additional chronic degenerative complications or other comorbidities; thus, a systematic screening for an early diagnosis and interdisciplinary management is recommended for improved outcomes related to morbidity, mortality, and quality of life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13237306","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,3]],"date-time":"2024-12-03T11:48:56Z","timestamp":1733226536000},"page":"7306","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Prevalence and Characteristics of Anemia in Romanian Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5204-6954","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura","family":"Gaita","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Second Department of Internal Medicine, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"\u201cPius Br\u00eenzeu\u201d Emergency County Hospital, 300723 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bogdan","family":"Timar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Second Department of Internal Medicine, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"\u201cPius Br\u00eenzeu\u201d Emergency County Hospital, 300723 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"Centre for Molecular Research in Nephrology and Vascular Disease, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sandra","family":"Lazar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Department of Internal Medicine, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Haematology, Emergency Municipal Hospital, 300254 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simona","family":"Popescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Second Department of Internal Medicine, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"\u201cPius Br\u00eenzeu\u201d Emergency County Hospital, 300723 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2387-5104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oana","family":"Albai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Second Department of Internal Medicine, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"\u201cPius Br\u00eenzeu\u201d Emergency County Hospital, 300723 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7904-6073","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adina","family":"Braha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Second Department of Internal Medicine, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"\u201cPius Br\u00eenzeu\u201d Emergency County Hospital, 300723 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0792-9202","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Romulus","family":"Timar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Second Department of Internal Medicine, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"\u201cPius Br\u00eenzeu\u201d Emergency County Hospital, 300723 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"Centre for Molecular Research in Nephrology and Vascular Disease, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"109119","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diabres.2021.109119","article-title":"IDF Diabetes Atlas: Global, regional and country-level diabetes prevalence estimates for 2021 and projections for 2045","volume":"183","author":"Sun","year":"2022","journal-title":"Diabetes Res.
