An Assosciation of Diabetic Retinopathy with Serum Lipids Level – A Study
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: To study the assosciation of Diabetic retinopathy with serum lipids level in Type 2 diabetic subjects. Settings and Design: The Cross sectional nonrandomized study. Materials and Methods: A total 150 patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus were assessed for presence and severity of retinopathy and they were correlated with age, sex, duration of Diabetic mellitus and serum lipids level. Diabetic Retinopathy was diagnosed by fundus examination using indirect ophthalmoscope with 20D lens and slit lamp biomicroscopy with 78D lens and classified according to the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) grading system. Results: A total 150 patients were evaluated out of which 108(72%) had diabetic retinopathy & 42(28%) were not having any Diabetic retinopathy. When Diabetic Retinopathy subjects were compared with those without Diabetic Retinopathy ,the mean serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides and non-high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol (all having P <0.05) concentrations were higher in Diabetic Retinopathy subjects. Triglycerides & HDL were more deranged in Diabetic Retinopathy, while Triglycerides & LDL were more deranged in CSME patients.
