IDDM11. Insulin-dependent (type I) diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is a genetic heterogenouse autoimmune disorder, which is triggered by genetic predisposition and environmental factors. [1] The prevalence of insulin-dependent (type I) diabetes mellitus (IDDM) among children and young adult from Europe is approximately 0.4%. [2]
Diabetic cheiroarthropathy, also known as diabetic stiff hand syndrome or limited joint mobility syndrome, is a cutaneous condition characterized by waxy, thickened skin and limited joint mobility of the hands and fingers, leading to flexion contractures, a condition associated with diabetes mellitus [1]: 681 and it is observed in roughly 30% of diabetic patients with longstanding disease.
Slowly evolving immune-mediated diabetes, or latent autoimmune diabetes in adults ( LADA ), is a form of diabetes that exhibits clinical features similar to both type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), [ 3][ 4] and is sometimes referred to as type 1.5 diabetes. [ 5] It is an autoimmune form of diabetes, similar to T1D, but patients ...
Type 3c diabetes (also known as pancreatogenic diabetes) is diabetes that comes secondary to pancreatic diseases, [ 1] involving the exocrine and digestive functions of the pancreas. It also occurs following surgical removal of the pancreas. Around 5–10% of cases of diabetes in the Western world are related to pancreatic diseases.
Specialty. Endocrinology. Maturity-onset diabetes of the young ( MODY) refers to any of several hereditary forms of diabetes mellitus caused by mutations in an autosomal dominant gene disrupting insulin production. [ 1] Along with neonatal diabetes, MODY is a form of the conditions known as monogenic diabetes.
Permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus ( PNDM) is a newly identified and potentially treatable form of monogenic diabetes. This type of neonatal diabetes is caused by activating mutations of the KCNJ11 gene, which codes for the Kir6.2 subunit of the beta cell K ATP channel. [ 1][ 2] This disease is considered to be a type of maturity onset ...
Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a disorder of the heart muscle in people with diabetes. It can lead to inability of the heart to circulate blood through the body effectively, a state known as heart failure (HF), [ 2] with accumulation of fluid in the lungs ( pulmonary edema) or legs ( peripheral edema ). Most heart failure in people with diabetes ...
[25] [150] [151] MASLD is associated with metabolic syndrome, which is a cluster of risk factors that contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Studies have demonstrated that abdominal obesity and insulin resistance, in particular, are significant contributors to the development of NAFLD.
