血尿酸水平与2型糖尿病视网膜病变的相关性研究进展

Research Progress on the Correlation between Serum Uric Acid Level and Type 2 Diabetic Retinopathy

糖尿病视网膜病变(diabetic retinopathy, DR)是糖尿病(Diabetes Mellitus, DM)的主要并发症之一,多年来严重影响着劳动年龄人群,是世界上主要的致盲原因之一。在全球范围内是导致中老年个体视力丧失的主要原因。随着人们生活水平的提高及生活方式的改变,世界范围内糖尿病视网膜病变发病率呈上升趋势,且有年轻化趋势。因此,近年来人们对糖尿病视网膜病变和血清尿酸水平的相关性进行了较多研究,以期为糖尿病视网膜病变的预防和治疗提供新的信息。现就国内外有关血清尿酸水平与糖尿病视网膜病变相关性的研究简要综述。

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the main complications of diabetes mellitus (DM), which has seriously affected the working-age population for many years and is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world. Globally, it is the leading cause of vision loss in middle-aged and elderly individuals. With the improvement of people’s living standards and changes in lifestyle, the incidence of diabetic retinopathy is on the rise worldwide, and there is a trend of younger people. Therefore, more researches have been carried out on the correlation between diabetic retinopathy and serum uric acid levels in recent years, in order to provide new information for the prevention and treatment of diabetic retinopathy. Here is a brief review of the research on the correlation between serum uric acid level and diabetic retinopathy at home and abroad.
