Abstract excerpt
In complex etiopathogenesis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), hemostatic dysfunction and subclinical inflammation play a possible role. Fibrinogen is involved in both the hemostatic and inflammatory pathways, so we hypothesize that fibrinogen gene polymorphisms might be associated with DPN. A total of 127 young patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) (average age, 18.5 ± 4.65 years; average diabetes duration,...
