CARDIOVASCULAR RISK CALCULATED ON A GROUP OF PATIENTS WITH TYPE 1 DM DIAGNOSED AT LEAST 10 YEARS AGO
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Diabetes Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases - Year 2011, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy is the most common worldwide cause of renal chronic disease in terminal stage requiring a renal substitution therapy. Microalbuminuria is an independent risk factor for developing diabetic renal disease, for the decrease of glomerular filtrate as well as for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Micro and macroalbuminuria are important predictors for mortality increase of any cause in DM. Microalbuminuria is a predictor for periferal and coronary cardiovascular disease. In type 1 DM, the factors of cardiovascular risk are usually interpreted according to the presence or absence of nephropathy. Diabetes mellitus involves a high cardiovascular risk, especially if there is any diabetic nephropathy present as a microvascular complication.
