METHOD FOR DETECTING MICROCIRCULATORY DISORDERS IN PATIENTS SUFFERING CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM DISORDERS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B8/06 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: microcirculation is assessed by laser Doppler flowmetry using combined functional tests - thermal postural leg test and thermal postural arm test. Both tests involve recording a microcirculation index. The derived data are saved. An average basic microcirculation from the 10^th to 110^th seconds is evaluated for the leg and arm tests according to the provided formulas. That is followed by calculating an average relative microcirculation I_rel1 and I_rel2 during the functional leg exposure according to the presented formulas. If any of the two values I_rel1, I_rel2 is below standard - I_rel1<3.7; I_rel2<3.5, the presence of microcirculatory disorders is stated in the person being tested.

EFFECT: method is accurate, simple, enables immediately detecting systemic microcirculatory disorders in the patients suffering carbohydrate metabolism disorders on the basis of available diagnostic tests and measured microcirculation parameters; using the combined functional tests involves most regulatory mechanisms that provides obtaining the reliable microcirculation information from the patients of this category.
