Cardiovascular Complications in Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is one of the two important metabolic complications of diabetes, the other being hyperglycaemic hyperosmolar non-ketotic state (HHNS). DKA consists of the triad of hyperglycaemia, ketosis and acidosis; the diagnostic criteria being blood glucose level > 250 mg/dl, arterial pH < 7.3, bicarbonate level < 15 mEq/L and a moderate degree of ketonaemia and ketonuria. There...
متن کاملGenetics of Human Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease encompasses a range of conditions extending from myocardial infarction to congenital heart disease, most of which are heritable. Enormous effort has been invested in understanding the genes and specific DNA sequence variants that are responsible for this heritability. Here, we review the lessons learned for monogenic and common, complex forms of cardiovascular disease. We...
متن کاملGenetics of cardiovascular and renal complications in diabetes
The development of debilitating complications represents a major healthcare burden associated with the treatment of diabetes. Despite advances in new therapies for controlling hyperglycemia, the burden associated with diabetic complications remains high, especially in relation to cardiovascular and renal complications. Furthermore, an increasing proportion of patients develop type 2 diabetes at...
متن کاملHuman Genetics of Diabetic Retinopathy: Current Perspectives
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a most severe microvascular complication which, if left unchecked, can be sight-threatening. With the global prevalence of diabetes being relentlessly projected to rise to 438 million subjects by 2030, DR will undoubtedly pose a major public health concern. Efforts to unravel the human genetics of DR have been undertaken using the candidate gene and linkage approach...
متن کاملOsteoprotegerin (OPG) as a biomarker for diabetic cardiovascular complications
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a glycoprotein involved in bone metabolisms and with a regulatory role in immune, skeletal and vascular systems. Recently, circulating OPG levels have emerged as independent biomarkers of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with acute or chronic heart disease, as well as in the healthy population. Furthermore, OPG has been implicated in various inflammations and li...
