Abstract
Introduction
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the major microvascular complications of diabetes. It is one of the most common cause of preventable blindness in diabetic adults. Dyslipidemia, a major systemic disorder, is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Patients with diabetes have an increased risk of suffering from dyslipidemia concurrently.
Aims and Objective of the study
- To find out the association between Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) and Lipid Profile.
- To find out the possible mechanisms involving lipid metabolism and diabetic retinopathy.
- To find out the effect of lipid-lowering therapies on diabetic retinopathy.
