Improving Obesity Diagnosis and Treatment to Ultimately Enhance Patients’ Overall Health Outcomes
Modern medicine is gradually shifting from a disease-centered to a patient-centered holistic management model.In the face of complex chronic diseases such as obesity, traditional single-discipline diagnosis and treatment can no longer meet clinical needs, and a shift toward multidisciplinary collaborative “team-based care” is essential.This is not a simple return to general practice, but an organic […]
AI and Big Data as Enabling Technologies for Diabetic Retinopathy Screening
AI and big data have become enabling technologies for diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening.Diabetic retinopathy is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes and the leading cause of blindness among the working‑age population worldwide.With population aging and the rising prevalence of diabetes, the situation for DR prevention and treatment has become increasingly severe.AI and big data […]
Do You Understand the Meaning of Thyroid Hormone Indicators?
Thyroid hormones play a vital role in the maturation of the cerebral cortex, especially in the development, differentiation, and functional maturation of the fetal nervous system.Insufficient thyroid hormones during the fetal and neonatal periods can lead to mental retardation, deafness, and cretinism; in children, they cause growth retardation; in adults, they result in memory loss […]
Diabetic Kidney Disease or Non-Diabetic Renal Disease?
What patients care about most is which symptoms indicate diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Early diagnosis allows early treatment.We will discuss how to diagnose DKD and how to differentiate it from non‑diabetic renal disease (NDRD) when proteinuria occurs.Diagnosis of Diabetic Kidney DiseaseDiabetic kidney disease may be diagnosed in diabetic patients who meet the following criteria: It […]
Who Should Be Screened for Diabetes?
The prevalence of diabetes is increasing worldwide year by year. In developed countries, it has been listed as the third major disease following cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The greatest harm of diabetes lies in its various chronic complications, such as diabetic foot, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, and neuropathy, which have attracted great attention in the […]
5 Recommendations for HbA1c Monitoring in Diabetic Patients
The number of patients with diabetes is increasing year by year, but diabetes still cannot be completely cured. For patients, the most ideal therapeutic effect is to strictly control blood glucose to reach the target level (close to or equal to that of healthy people), minimize the harm caused by diabetes and its various complications, […]
Early Symptoms and Screening Methods of Diabetic Kidney Disease
About 20%–40% of people with diabetes in China develop diabetic kidney disease, which is now a leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end‑stage renal disease.Early SymptomsOften no obvious symptoms in early stage.The only key change is increased urinary microalbumin, which can only be detected by laboratory tests.Screening MethodsScreen at least once a year, including:
Diagnosis of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Clinical diagnosis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is mainly based on screening, evaluation, regular examination and follow-up. High-risk patients with long disease duration or microvascular complications (such as retinopathy, nephropathy) should be re-examined every 3–6 months.Patients with microvascular disease and DSPN symptoms require screening for autonomic neuropathy, especially cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN).CAN should also be […]
