Diabetologia Praktyczna 2009;10(4):151-156.
Abstract
Current opinions concerning pathogenesis of diabetic
microangiopathy are presented. The special attention
was concentrated on hyperglycemia-induced
biochemical disturbances as well as on the inflammatory cells participation in microcirculation derangement.
Using the known pathogenic mechansisms
responsible for diabetic microangiopathy, the
optimal procedures aiming at prevention of cardiovascular
complications are suggested.
