Abstract
The present review encompasses the data from the Russian-language and foreign publications. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is currently considered to be a global socio-medical, psychological, and economic problem due to the high frequency of vascular complications resulting in early invalidization of the patients. Encephalopathy (EP) is one of the most severe complications of DM leading to the substantial deterioration of the quality of life. Both the markers and the diagnostic criteria of EP remain to be determined. Certain neurospecific proteins are believed to be predictors of this pathology.
