Diabetic autonomic neuropathy

Autonomic neuropathy (AN) is a common although rarely diagnosed diabetes complication. There are several reasons – frequent absence
of clear symptoms, complicated and often non-available diagnostics. Therefore AN is often a diagnosis per exclusion after excluding
the organic defect of the given organ. The insufficient treatment options of AN are another reason why the AN diagnostics is paid such
little attention to. Nevertheless AN is dangerous for patients and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) especially increases their
morbidity and mortality. The article gives a brief summary of the diagnostic and treatment options of the complication with respect to
its practical use.
