Using blood biomarkers and ophthalmological indicators of optical coherence tomography and angiography for the diagnosis of fundus lesions in patients with diabetes mellitus
Majority of patients with DM monitored by physicians maintained good visual acuity over years. Ophthalmic imaging revealed evidence of early vascular changes even in patients without evidence of DR on clinical exam and color fundus imaging. In addition to ophthalmic functional and structural assessments, clinical blood tests for renal function are also important early biomarkers of end organ damage in DM.
