Introduction Diabetes mellitus is an epidemic disorder, which in Denmark alone is affecting 320,000 patients. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most frequent long term complication to diabetes mellitus (1) and a feared cause of severe vision loss and blindness (2).
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Retinal nonperfusion drives vision-threatening complications such as pathological neovascularization, which can lead to neovascular glaucoma, vitreous hemorrhage, or tractional retinal detachments and macular edema in various retinal vascular diseases including diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein
Title of study:
Effects of Ranibizumab to delay or regression non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy(NPDR) with DME assessed by microaneurysm changes: A pilot study
Study Rationale:
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading disease that causes acquired vision loss after 20 by making diabetic macular edema
Diabetic macular edema (DME) results from abnormal leakage of macromolecules into the extracellular space from microaneurysms and incompetent blood vessel walls due to small vessel damage from high blood glucose levels. Oncotic forces then allow water into the extracellular space. Abnormalities in
