Background: Sudomotor function is used to assessperipheral autonomic system. Electrochemical Skin Conductancemeasurement using electrochemical reaction betweenchloride ions in sweat and stainless steel plate electrodes is a simple, non-invasive and quick method. Several factors, including age, sex, BMI, glycemic status influence sweat function.Aim: Our aim was to determineprevalence of peripheral (DPN) and cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in hypertensi...

The aim of the present work was to assess the degree of glycemic control and complications rate through pregnancy and thirteen-years post-partum in women with microalbuminuria (T1DM).Materials and methodsIn total 191 patients with T1DM were enrolled in the study. Based on albuminuria levels in the 1st trimester women were separated into 2 groups (Gr.). Gr.1 – 116 women with normoalbuminuria, Gr.2 – 75 women wit...

Background: Hyperglycemia is believed to be the underlying cause for many of the adverse fetal, neonatal, and maternal outcomes in pregnancies complicated by type 1diabetes (T1DM). In particular, the rates of a large for gestational age (LGA) neonates and macrosomia remain high and suggest that hyperglycemia may not be the only driver of fetal overgrowth for women with T1DM.Aim: Our aim was to assess the association between gestational glycemic profiles ...

Background: Studies show relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) and such diseases as type 2 diabetes (T2DM), hypertension (HT) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). There is relationship both in hyperuricemia (HU), and high–normal values of SUA. Significance of this association is unknown; there are controversial data concerning HU role in patients with T2DM/CVD. The aim of the study was to assess SUA in T2DM patients with ASCVD.<...
