Indirect bilirubin is inversely associated with diabetic retinopathy risk and is a potential predictive biomarker
These findings suggest that IBIL could be a valuable biomarker for predicting DR risk, offering a noninvasive, cost-effective, and readily available clinical tool for the early identification of high-risk patients. Future multicenter and longitudinal studies are warranted to validate these findings and further explore the biological mechanisms underlying the protective role of IBIL in DR.
