Abstract：Objective To investigate the predictive value of red blood cell (RBC) parameters detec-tion in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) patients with vascular complications. Methods 279 cases T2DM pa-tients including 81 cases pure T2DM patients, 55 cases T2DM combine coronary artery disease patients, 59 cases T2DM combine diabetic retinopathy patients, and 84 cases T2DM combine diabetic nephropathy patients from February 2010 to December 2013 in our hospital were collected. The RBC parameters of all the subjects were detected, and the results were analyzed statistically. Results There were statistical significance in the differences of mean corpuscular volume(MCV) and red blood cell distribution width(RDW) levels among pure T2DM group, T2DM combine coronary artery disease group and T2DM combine microvascular disease group (Pall<0.05). The MCV and RDW levels in T2DM combine coronary artery disease group and T2DM combine microvascular disease group were all higher than that of pure T2DM group , and the differences all had statisti-cal significance (Pall<0.05). The MCV level in T2DM combine coronary artery disease group was higher than that of T2DM combine microvascular disease group, and the difference had statistical significance (P<0.05). There was statistical significance in the difference of RDW level among pure T2DM group , T2DM combine dia-betic retinopathy group and T2DM combine diabetic nephropathy group (P<0.05). The RDW level in T2DM combine diabetic nephropathy group was higher than that of T2DM combine diabetic retinopathy group , and the difference had statistical significance(P<0.05). Conclusion The levels of RDW and MCV can predict the risk of blood vessels complications of T2DM.
