  6. Results (contd.)

  7. Conclusions • Microvascular complications of Type-2 Diabetes are associated with changes in coagulation parameters. • Differences in coagulation parameters were seen in diabetics with complications of nephropathy and retinopathy compared to diabetics without these complications. • The magnitude of the coagulation abnormalities is unlikely to cause symptomatic thrombotic events and hence may be clinically silent.
