Resumo(s)
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR)is a frequent complication of DiabetesMellitus (DM) andthe main cause of vision loss in the working population in western countries. Diabetic Retinopathy has always been considered a microvascular disease, but it has been suggested that neurodegeneration is also associated with this complex pathology[1], although there is evidence indicating that the neurodegenerative process may progress independently[2]. To evaluate this potential association, we have examined the progression of
neurodegeneration over a 5-year period of follow-up (considering thinning of ganglion cell + inner plexiform retinal layers (GCL+IPL) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and nonproliferative DR) and explored whetheritis associated with microaneurysmturnover (MAT), diseaselevel at baseline and severity progression.
