The Relationship among Homocysteine, Bilirubin, and Diabetic Retinopathy
BACKGROUND Diabetic retinopathy is a common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) and the leading cause of blindness in adults. Homocysteine, a risk factor with toxic effects on vascular endothelial cells, and bilirubin, a protectant with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties on the vasculature, have been reported to be linked to vaso-occlusive disorders. Therefore, the au...
متن کاملSerum total bilirubin levels and prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in a Chinese population.
BACKGROUND Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at a high risk of developing microvascular complications, such as diabetic retinopathy (DR). Previous studies have shown that low serum bilirubin concentrations in T2D patients may increase the risk of diabetic complications. Thus, the aim of the present was to investigate the association between the prevalence of DR and serum concentrations of...
متن کاملAssociation Of Serum Total Bilirubin Level With Diabetic Retinopathy In Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
BACKGROUND Serum bilirubin has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immunological properties. It is considered a protective substance against atherosclerotic and microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). This study was designed to find the association between total serum bilirubin concentration and diabetic retinopathy (DR). METHODS This case control study was conducted in the Depa...
متن کاملEvaluation of bilirubin as possible protective factor in the prevention of retinopathy of prematurity.
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) appears to be a multifactorial disease, the prevention of which is probably impossible even with the most accurate methods of blood-gas monitoring and oxygen restrictions. The oxidative processes and consequent formation of free radicals are probably influenced by the availability of various antioxidants in the immature retina. Bilirubin, the end product of haem...
متن کاملThe Negative Relationship between Bilirubin Level and Diabetic Retinopathy: A Meta-Analysis
OBJECTIVES Findings on the relationship between total bilirubin level (TBL) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) are inconsistent. Thus, we carried out a meta-analysis to investigate the relationship between TBL and the risk of DR. METHODS Relevant studies were selected from six databases up to 31 May 2016 using a search strategy. The relevant data were extracted from the included studies according ...
