What is Diabetic Retinopathy and Nephropathy Pathophysiology about?
This document summarizes the pathophysiology of diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy. It discusses how chronic hyperglycemia leads to the non-enzymatic glycosylation of long-lived proteins through the Maillard reaction. This glycosylation process occurs in three phases - initiation, propagation, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation. The accumulation of AGEs in the retina, kidney, and other tissues contributes to the development of retinopathy and nephropathy in diabetic patients over many ye
