Correlation of Renal Profiles with Choroidal Vascularity Index in Eyes with Diabetic Retinopathy

The vascular system is affected by systemic conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. The choroid is an important vascular tissue surrounding the sensory retina. However, the relationship between the choroid and systemic factors in patients with diabetes has rarely be...

The choroid is an important vascular tissue surrounding the sensory retina. However, the relationship between the choroid and systemic factors in patients with diabetes has rarely been investigated. Here, we assessed the correlation of renal profiles with choroidal vasculature in eyes with diabetic retinopathy (DR) using a retrospective study design. The study included 131 patients with diabetes who underwent swept-source optical coherence tomography and routine medical work-up within a 4-week period between 1 February 2016 and 30 October 2018. Consecutive patients with treatment-naïve DR who did not receive any subsequent treatment were included. The distribution of patients according to the DR stage was as follows: no DR, 32 patients; mild-to-moderate non-proliferative DR (NPDR), 33 patients; severe NPDR, 34 patients; and treatment-naïve proliferative DR, 32 patients. Multivariate regression analyses showed that the choroidal vascularity index (CVI) of naïve eyes with DR was negatively correlated with age (<i>p</i> = 0.013) and the serum levels of phosphorus (<i>p</i> = 0.002) and positively correlated with subfoveal choroidal thickness (<i>p</i> < 0.001). Taken together, our findings suggest that a lower CVI is associated with phosphorus retention in patients with chronic kidney disease.Jee Taek KimIn Gul LeeMDPI AGarticlediabetic retinopathychoroidal vascular indexsubfoveal choroidal thicknessMedicineRENJournal of Clinical Medicine, Vol 10, Iss 5155, p 5155 (2021)
