Retinal Microcirculation in Predicting Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetic Patients without Retinopathy

Diabetic eyes without clinically detectable DR show impaired retinal microcirculation. Microalbuminuria is associated with alterations of retinal microcirculation in diabetic patients without DR. Evaluation of retinal microcirculation is likely useful for detecting early changes related to microvascular complications in type 2 diabetic patients.
