Research Article: C-reactive protein to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio: an independent risk factor for diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes patients
Abstract:
Background and objective: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is associated with abnormal lipid metabolism and inflammation. However, a single lipid or inflammatory parameter cannot accurately predict the prognosis of DR independently, because it is prone to be affected by various confounding factors. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the inflammation-lipid indicator C-reactive protein (CRP)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and DR occurrence in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
