Association of CXCL12 and CXCR4 Genes Polymorphism with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy in Diabetic Patients
Introduction: Patients with diabetes are prone to develop complications related to the retina. So far, several genes have been reported in connection with the progression of retinopathy, and a group of these genes is genes involved in angiogenesis. CXCL12 and CXCR4 genes are among the most important genes in this path, which have been less studied and investigated. The aim of this study was to ...
متن کاملhead in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy
An anatomical taxonomy for neovascular proliferation of the optic nerve head in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy is presented. The technique consists in comparing (A) number of involved quadrants, (B) calibre of vessels, (C) neovascular density, (D) neovascular area, (E) plane of proliferation, and (F) fluorescein angiographic findings. A similar taxonomy is used to describe fib...
متن کاملPreventing sight loss from proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy This is the advanced stage of diabetic retinopathy. New blood vessels grow along the inside surface of the retina and into the vitreous gel, the fluid that fills the eye. These vessels are fragile and more likely to leak and bleed. Scar tissue is formed and can contract and cause retinal detachment (the pulling away of the retina from underlying tissue) – whic...
متن کاملApelin in epiretinal membranes of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy
PURPOSE Formation of epiretinal membranes (ERMs) in the posterior fundus results in visual impairment. ERMs have been associated with numerous clinical conditions, including proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), a neovascular disease. Apelin has been identified as a novel angiogenesis contributor. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between apelin and ERMs after PDR. ...
متن کاملNeovascular glaucoma after vitrectomy in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy
To evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of neovascular glaucoma (NVG) after vitrectomy in patients with vitreous hemorrhage associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). This retrospective, noncomparative, observational study included 127 eyes of 127 patients with PDR who received vitrectomy with a follow-up period of at least 6 months. The prevalence of NVG and associated risk ...
