چکیده
|
There is very few evidences on the role of vitamin d in the development of diabetic retinopathy. the aim of the current study was to explore whether there is an association of vitamin d status and diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes. two groups of patients were selected: 139 and 144 patients with and without retinopathy,respectively,as assessed by an experienced ophthalmologist. subjects with advanced late diabetic complications were excluded to avoid confounding biases. 25-hydroxy-vitamin d3 (25(oh)d) concentrations and vitamin d deficiency were associated with the presence of diabetic retinopathy. additionally,patients with more advanced stages of retinopathy (grades 2-4) had lower concentrations of 25(oh)d and were more frequently vitamin d deficient as compared with patients not carrying this eye complication. in conclusion,our study confirms the association of vitamin d deficiency with the presence and severity of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes. further experimental and prospective studies on this issue are clearly warranted. © 2015 nuria alcubierre et al.
