Microangiopathic diseases encompass disorders affecting small blood vessels, leading to organ damage and various symptoms. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) are notable examples, characterized by blood clot formation in microvessels, potentially affecting organs like the brain and kidneys. Diabetic microangiopathy, prevalent in diabetes, results from chronic high blood sugar levels, leading to […]

Diabetic microangiopathy is a complication of diabetes that damages small blood vessels, leading to issues such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. High blood sugar, advanced glycation end-products, inflammation, and oxidative stress contribute to this condition. Retinopathy affects vision, nephropathy impairs kidney function, and neuropathy causes nerve damage and pain.  Prevention and management focus on glycemic

Microangiopathy refers to diseases of the small blood vessels, often associated with conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or autoimmune disorders. These microscopic vessel abnormalities can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Recognizing the symptoms of microangiopathy is crucial for early intervention and management. In this article, we explore the common signs and symptoms of microangiopathy,
