Study Notes
Microvascular and Macrovascular Complications of Diabetes Mellitus
- Microvascular complications of diabetes include neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy, which are chronic complications of hyperglycemia and may be present at diagnosis in Type 2 diabetes patients.
- Excess glucose is metabolized to sorbitol in the Polyol Pathway, leading to osmotic damage and oxidative stress in cells.
- Hyperglycemia produces advanced glycation end products (AGEs), leading to basement membrane thickening and damage to blood vessel wall components.
- Protein kinase C (PKC) activation due to the end product of glycolysis, DAG, promotes Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) expression, driving the formation of new blood vessels.
- Diabetic retinopathy involves basement membrane thickening, endothelial cell loss, and the formation of new blood vessels in the retina.
- Diabetic nephropathy is characterized by basement membrane thickening, podocyte cell loss, and subsequent leakage of protein into the urine, leading to glomerular scarring and impaired renal function.
- Diabetic neuropathy causes damage to the microvasculature, leading to ischemia to neurons and lack of nerve function, resulting in muscle weakness and impaired signaling of pain, touch, and temperature.
- The fovea of the retina is the area with the greatest concentration of rods and cones.
- Macrovascular complications of diabetes include strokes, myocardial infarction, and ischemia/hypoxia to limbs, and patients with Type 2 diabetes have multiple risk factors for their development.
- Much of the damage occurring in the small vessels is also occurring in the larger blood vessels, leading to accelerated atherosclerosis.
- Treatment strategies for macrovascular complications focus on early detection and prevention, as many of these complications can be life-threatening or severely life-altering.
- It is important to understand the pathophysiological processes leading to both macrovascular and microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Complications
- Diabetic ketoacidosis can cause rapid deterioration in health within 24 hours due to a failed insulin pump.
- Symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis include fruity breath, vomiting, abdominal pain, and fruity-smelling bodily excretions.
- Treatment for diabetic ketoacidosis involves fluid replacement, insulin administration, and electrolyte management.
- Diabetic ketoacidosis is caused by absolute insulin deficiency, leading to the presence of ketones in the blood.
- The breakdown of muscle and fat contributes to the development of diabetic ketoacidosis.
- While more common in type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis can also occur in type 2 diabetes.
- The pathophysiology behind diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperglycemic states may involve the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
- Chronic complications of diabetes, such as neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy, can arise from prolonged elevated glucose levels.
- Some cells, such as those in the nerves, kidneys, and retinal blood vessels, are particularly sensitive to elevated glucose levels.
- Diabetic neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy are slow-building complications that develop over time.
- These chronic complications do not manifest suddenly and result from long-term uncontrolled hypoglycemia.
- The text does not provide information on how diabetic infections are contracted.
