Clinical Analysis of Diabetic Retinopathy in Type 2 Diabetic Patients and its Correlations with Biochemical Parameters
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy, a microvascular complication of diabetes is one of the major tragedies in ophthalmology. It still remains among the leading cause of preventable blindness in the developing and developed worlds. Aim: To correlate the metabolic changes with clinical manifestations of diabetic retinopathy. Materials and Methods: A total of 55 diabetic patients between the age group of 40 and 70 years who attended ophthalmology OP of Government Vellore Medical College from April 2016 to April 2017 were included in the study. We recorded all their biochemical parameters, and detailed ophthalmic examination was done. The data were analyzed statistically by simple proportion Results: Out of the 55 patients 35 patients had retinopathy and was found to be more in males and the age group of 40-60 years. Patients with high mean fasting blood sugar levels had a higher incidence of retinopathy. Similarly, patients with high glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) had a higher risk of retinopathy. Patients with low mean total protein level and cholesterol levels above the normal values had a higher risk of retinopathy. Conclusion: This study shows a male preponderance and the most common age group being 40-60 years. Of all the parameters, poor metabolic control of diabetes as evidenced by a high fasting blood sugar and a high HbA1c along with hyperlipidemia are the significant changes which can precipitate diabetic retinopathy.
