Analysis of the critical impact of pregnancy on the progression of diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy. It details mandatory tight glycemic control, strict retinal screening protocols throughout the trimesters, and the urgent need for timely laser photocoagulation treatment, emphasizing that treatment must not be delayed until after delivery due to rapid deterioration risk. The text also discusses the cautious use of anti-VEGF drugs and the role of aspirin.
This review summarizes studies showing that diabetic retinopathy, a uniquely assessable measure of diabetic microvascular damage, is strongly associated with excess risks of systemic vascular complications, including stroke, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and nephropathy. It suggests that retinopathy reflects widespread microcirculatory disease and may serve as a novel biomarker for vascular disease risk in diabetic patients.
