Document Type : Abstracts

Abstract

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common microvascular complication in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an essential growth factor for vascular endothelial cells. We aimed in this study to investigate the relation between VEGF-A serum level and the degree of DPN.
