Recenzje

"This book encompasses all areas of neuropathy including sensory neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, impotence, and gastrointestinal disorders. . .The breadth of topics is impressive and includes histology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment. . .All of the chapters contain useful tables. . .There are useful diagrams or figures in almost every chapter devoted to various topics such as pathophysiology, diagnostic protocols, or treatment options. This is an excellent resource for anyone interested in diabetes. Without exception, each chapter is concise, well written, and packed with information, but at the same time very readable."-Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
