title: [Etiopathogenetic role of metabolic, circulatory, sex factors and type and duration of diabetes in diabetic retinopathy. Investigation with vitreofluorophotometry].
abstract: We have studied metabolic, circulatory and vascular parameters in a group of 57 diabetics (37 affected by IDDM, 20 affected by NIDDM; 35 were males, 22 were females). Goals of present study were: 1) quantitative evaluation of the blood retinal barrier; 2) influence of the metabolic state, blood pressure, sex, type and duration of the diabetes on the ocular conditions; 3) relationship between ophthalmoscopic appearance of the retina and vitreous fluorophotometric recordings. We concluded that: a) ocular alterations depend by lipidic metabolism, blood pressure, sex, type and duration of the diabetes; b) vitreous fluorophotometry has proved a good device for early detection of retinal damages in the diabetic retinopathy.
