Early choroidal and retinal changes detected by swept-source oct in type 2 diabetes and their association with diabetic kidney disease: a longitudinal prospective study.

Background: To evaluate structural changes in retina and choroid in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and their association with diabetic kidney disease (DKD).

Methods: T2D patients with mild or no diabetic retinopathy (DR) were followed for 3 years using structural SS-OCT and OCT angiography (OCT-A) taken every 6 months. Parameters were compared longitudinally and according to the DKD status on baseline.

Early retinal neurovascular findings in post-transplant diabetes mellitus patients without clinical signs of diabetic retinopathy.

Background: Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a specific subtype of diabetes with an uncertain impact on mortality and morbidity in post-transplant patients. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus, but the long-term clinical progression in PTDM is unknown. New technologies are being used to assess pre-clinical signs of retinal changes, such as swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT-angiography.

Early choroidal changes detected by swept-source OCT in type 2 diabetes and their association with diabetic kidney disease.

Introduction: Microvascular changes in eye and kidney shares some common factors in diabetes mellitus (DM). The purpose was to evaluate choroidal thickness (CT) and choriocapillaris (CC) density in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and their association with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Research Design And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with patients with T2D with mild or no diabetic retinopathy (DR) and non-diabetic controls.

Early neurovascular retinal changes detected by swept-source OCT in type 2 diabetes and association with diabetic kidney disease.

Purpose: To evaluate retinal thickness and capillary density in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and their association with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with T2D patients with mild or no diabetic retinopathy (DR) and nondiabetic controls. Inner retinal layer thickness was measured with SS-OCT.

FUNCTIONAL AND STRUCTURAL EFFECTS OF NONDAMAGING RETINAL LASER THERAPY FOR MACULAR TELANGIECTASIA TYPE 2: A Randomized Sham-Controlled Clinical Trial.

Purpose: Macular telangiectasia (MacTel) Type 2 is a progressing neurovascular disease of the macula, currently lacking effective treatment. This study assessed the effect of nondamaging retinal laser therapy (NRT) compared with sham.

Methods: Twelve MacTel patients were enrolled in this double-masked, controlled, randomized clinical trial.

Changes in choroidal thickness and volume are related to urinary albumin excretion in type 2 diabetic patients without retinopathy.

Purpose: To evaluate choroidal thickness and volume in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

Methods: We recruited 37 diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy (18 normoalbuminuric and 19 microalbuminuric) and 21 healthy controls. Choroidal thickness and volume were mapped using the automated Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study grid and a topographic map of thickness was generated manually.
