Popis: Diabetic enteropathy is a specific diabetic complica­tion. It could be presented as constipations, diarrhoea or faecal incontinence. The aetiology is multifactorial. The main role is attributed to irreversible autonomic neuropathy, which often coexists with peripheral sen­sorimotor neuropathy. Nowadays, enteropathy is diag­nosed after exclusion of other causes, like coeliac dis­ease, hypo- or hyperthyroidism, inflammatory bowel disease, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and adverse drug reaction. The article presents new reports about enteropathy reversibility after simultaneous pancreas-kidney trans­plantation in patients with abnormal levels of IGF-1 and IGFBP3. It provides new data on pathogenesis of enteropathy and presents new diagnostic and thera­peutic approaches. (Clin Diabetol 2017; 6, 3: 105–110)
