- Abstract
- Recently chronic angiopathy of diabetes mellitus has become serious complication of diabetes mellitus. Chronic angiopathic complication of diabetes mellitus is divided into macrovascular disease and microvascular disease. Macrovascular disease includes coronary arterial disease, cerebrovascular disease, foot lesion and microvascular disease includes diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy.
It is well known that microvascular disease'is relatively unique in diabetic patients and
macrovascular disease is frequently found in non diabetic patients, although prevalence
rate is still high in diabetic patients. This finding supports the view that
microvascular disease and macrovascular disease have different pathogenesis.
The authors evaluated and invested the 180 patients with diabetes mellitus who have
taken neurologic examination and NCV studies f rom January 1, 1990 to September 30,
1992. The results were as followed:
1.There is a significant tendency that diabetic patients with neuropathy are accompanied
by other microangiopathy (retinopathy or nephropathy) than diabetic patients without
neuropathy.
2.Between diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy and without peripheral
neuropathy, there is no difference in the prevalence of macroangiopathy.
