Academic Press Chronic Complications of Diabetes Mellitus: Current Outlook and Novel Pathophysiological Insights

Product Description Diabetes complications include pathological changes usually related to the vascular system and classical target organs. However, there are also nonclassical complications independent or partially independent from vascular damage that are often overlooked. Chronic Complications of Diabetes Mellitus: Current Outlook and Novel Pathophysiological Insights provides a holistic view of the disease and discuss not only its classical complications but also the under recognized and managed conditions associated with diabetes. Chapters also discuss the advances on the understanding of genomic architecture of diabetes complications and how precision medicine can be used to personalize their management. Endocrinologists, diabetologists, primary care physicians and researchers interested in complications of diabetes mellitus and cutting-edge information on will find this to be a comprehensive tome on the topic.
