METHOD FOR PREDICTING DIABETIC PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY IN CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS

摘要

FIELD: medicine, laboratory diagnostics.;SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with predicting diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPNP) in children and teenagers who suffer insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. In peripheral blood one should serologically study brain neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and at its value being above 9000 pg/ml one should diagnose subclinical DPNP stage. Thus, it has been developed a highly sensitive and accurate method for predicting the onset of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.;EFFECT: higher accuracy of prediction.;3 ex
