PURPOSE To explore the relationship between chronic kidney disease and diabetic retinopathy in a representative population of Korean diabetic adults. METHODS We analyzed data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (2008-2010). A total of 15,409 individuals (weighted frequency, 32,168,636) aged 19 and over who completed ophthalmologic and renal functional examinations...

Sialic acid, an acetylated derivative of neuraminic acid, is reported to be a marker of micro- and macrovascular complications in diabetic subjects. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of serum sialic acid and diabetic retinopathy. Serum sialic acid levels were measured in healthy non-diabetic control subjects, Type 2 diabetic patients without retinopathy (No DR), Type ...

On a worldwide scale, the diabetic retinopathy (DR) is listing primary causes of loss sight in individuals. The main reason behind occurrence DR diabetes mellitus (DM) and macular edema (DME). Diabetic have some types it i.e Non- proliferative (NPDR) Proliferative (PDR). Where NPDR an initial stage PDR severe where person eye due to various factors which changes retinal micro vascularisation. U...

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a fast-growing retinal disease happens as result of exponential growth in sugar level blood which diminishes eyesight. The severity identification this eye disorder performed by ophthalmologists due to scarcity good software for finding DR. initial stage diabetic retinopathy identified the presence microaneurysm. This paper conducts phase detection using Convolution...

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the retinal diseases due to long-term effect of diabetes. Early detection for diabetic retinopathy is crucial since timely treatment can prevent progressive loss of vision. The most common diagnosis technique of diabetic retinopathy is to screen abnormalities through retinal fundus images by clinicians. However, limited number of well-trained clinicians incre...

Diabetic retinopathy is a chronic retinal disorder that develops as a complication of diabetes mellitus. The aim of the present study was to identify modifiable risk factors of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 Diabetes mellitus and correlation with severity of diabetic retinopathy. From the present study we conclude that optimized control of risk factors i.e glucose level, hypertension, serum cre...

Objective(s):To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the contributions of GST genetic variants to the risk of diabetic retinopathy in an Iranian population. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether sequence variation in glutathione S-transferase gene (GSTM1 and GSTT1) is associated with development of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D...

Dyslipidemia is found to be associated with the initiation and progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Modifications of lipoproteins by glycation and oxidation and the variations in the size distributions of lipoprotein particles are not reflected in conventional lipid profiles. This study was conducted to know if the measurements of apolipoprotein AI (apo AI) and apolipoprotein B (apo B) may...

OBJECTIVE The number of adults with diabetes in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is expected to almost double by 2035. This study investigated the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and its risk factors at entry into a community-based screening programme. METHODS All persons with diabetes screened for retinopathy at entry into a screening programme in Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania between Novembe...

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness in adults less than 70 years of age in the western world (Kempen, et al., 2004). It is estimated that 1 in 29 Americans 40 years and older has diabetic retinopathy (4.1 million persons) and 1 in 132 persons has visionthreatening DR (Kempen et al., 2004). Diabetic retinopathy is characterized by microvascular changes. Despite the fact t...
