It can develop as early as 7 years before the diagnosis of diabetes. Nail fold capillaroscopy (NFC) is a non-invasive technique for observing capillary microvasculature and there are few studies which have explored the use of NFC in diabetes mellitus patients. Objective To study the nail fold capillaroscopic alterations in patients with T2DM having diabetic retinopathy and compare them to healthy controls. The secondary objective was to correlate the NFC findings with the duration of diabetes, haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and the severity of DR. Materials and methods This cross-sectional observational study enrolled 200 patients - 100 cases with T2DM having diabetic retinopathy (as per the American Diabetes Association criteria and Diabetic Retinopathy Disease Severity Scale) and 100 healthy age and sex-matched controls. All patients were subjected to NFC and ophthalmological assessment. Results NFC revealed that patients with DR showed significantly higher frequencies of tortuous, dilated, bushy, meandering, angulated capillaries, avascular areas and micro-haemorrhages as compared to healthy controls (p < 0.05). In proliferative DR (PDR), the frequency of tortuous, bushy capillaries, and avascular areas was statistically high and the capillary density was reduced as compared to non-proliferative DR. The DR patients with longer disease duration (>20) years had a significantly higher frequency of tortuous capillaries, avascular areas, meandering, angulated and dilated capillaries. The frequency of tortuosity, avascular areas, and bushy areas was significantly higher in patients with poor glycaemic control (HbA1c >11). Limitations A larger sample size study with different demographic populations could have provided a broader picture of NFC changes in T2DM patients with DR. Discussion NFC may act as a surrogate marker of retinal involvement in patients with DM and should be performed at regular intervals. Conclusion NFC is a quick, simple, safe, and non-invasive method to assess the capillaroscopic alterations in diabetic patients which inturn can help in assessing the severity of DR.</p>","PeriodicalId":50376,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dermatology Venereology & Leprology","volume":" ","pages":"782-788"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141263396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
