Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases associated with high glucose levels that cause systemic long-term damage, dysfunction, and failure of several tissues [2]. Among the consequences of this chronic hyperglycemic state, patients with DM suffer several urologic complications that involve endothelial and neural damage all along the genitourinary tract with significant economical and quality of life costs.
