Inflammation and oxidative stress play an important role in DR pathogenesis. Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a reliable inflammatory and oxidative stress marker in various cardiovascular diseases, but there is a little data regarding its usefulness in ocular diseases. Thus, we aimed to investigate the correlation between RDW and DR in this study. Material and Methods: A total of 180 patients with type 2 DM were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into 2 groups. A hundred-forty nine patients (82.77%) had no DR and, thirty one patients (17.22%) had DR. Complete blood cell parameters including RDW and biochemical tests including hemoglobin A1c were noted at the time of first ophthalmic examination. Results: RDW values were higher in DR (+) group than DR (-) group (14.92±1.71% vs. 13.81±1.00%, respectively, p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, RDW remained an independent predictor of DR (Odds ratio [OR] 1.691, 95% confidence interval (1.036-2.763), p=0.036) together with duration of DM (OR 1.199, p<0.001) and hemoglobin A1c (OR 2.366, p=0.006). Conclusion: Elevated RDW levels were significantly associated with DR in patients with type 2 DM.","PeriodicalId":190073,"journal":{"name":"Turkiye Klinikleri Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"4 16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130272775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

She was 26 weeks pregnant. Visual acuity in the left eye was counting fingers with a normal anterior segment examination. On fundus exam, subhyaloid hemorrhage covering the macular region between the vascular arcades was noticed. After giving information about the pregnancy, complication risks and other treatment alternatives, drainage of the subhyaloid hemorrhage with Argon laser membranotomy treatment was performed. After laser treatment, drainage of the hemorrhage into the vitreous cavity and instant improvement of vision was observed with no complications. The visual acuity was 0.3 (Snellen chart) the following day and 0.9 on the third postoperative day. Premacular hemorrhage was completely drained at one month. No complications were observed on 2 month follow-up. 532 nm lasers are present in most clinics and when proper parameters are selected, it proved to be an effective and safe alternative for treating premacular subhyaloid hemorrhage in our patient.","PeriodicalId":190073,"journal":{"name":"Turkiye Klinikleri Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126644775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
