[Hemostatic studies in decompensated diabetes mellitus]. 1988

N Petrunova, and V Genova

In 35 patients with decompensated diabetes mellitus the following hemostatic indices were studied: glycohemoglobin, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, fibrin monomers (determined by protamine sulfate test), fibrinogen and platelet count. A statistically significant decrease of the prothrombin time (p less than 0.001) and of the partial thromboplastin time (p less than 0.001) was found. Glycohemoglobin was significantly increased in all patients. The remaining indices were in the normal ranges. A syndrome of increased latent coagulability emerges which explains the tendency to thromboembolism in diabetes.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D003924 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.
