Evaluation of the Relationship Between Diabetic Macular Edema and Renal Function in a Latino Population.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is one of the leading causes of vision impairment. The relationship between DME and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has not been clearly evaluated in Hispanic or Latino populations. The objective of this study was to evaluate the eGFR in a Latino population with DME.

Methods

A cross-sectional, observational, and descriptive study was carried out on the basis of a multicenter phase III clinical trial.

Results

A total of 82 subjects diagnosed with DME (36 women and 46 men) were included in the study. The mean age was 61.93 ± 6.71 years. Mean values of the blood chemistry parameters glycated hemoglobin and eGFR were 7.20 ± 0.95% and 74.42 ± 26.82 mL/min/1.73 m², respectively. The time elapsed since diagnosi
