To assess the correlation between the skin microvasculary damages and the reticular pathology due to diabetes

ABSTRACT

Results of the biopsies from 55 diabetes patients with damage of capillary system on the skin were classified by Larsson’s scale. The state was mainly 2nd grade (41.8%), 1st grade and 3rd grade 29.1%. No case of 4th grade damage. The capillary damage was strictly assosciated to diabetes retinian capillary damage. The damage of skin capillary developed earlier considerably than that of the retine. The damage of capillary system on skin can be considered golden criterion for diagnosis of early damage of the capillary vessel in diabetes.
