[Clinical correlations between the incidence of diabetic retinopathy and diabetic nephropathy]

In this study we included 651 patients with recently diagnosed diabetes mellitus registered at the Centre for Diabetes Care from Timişoara in 1995. All the patients were from Timişoara and the county of Timiş. They had insulin-dependent and noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. We studied the eye lesions ophthalmoscopically, retinophotographically and angiographically and we correlated these informations with the lesions of diabetic nephropathy. We also made an evaluation of the functional implications of the ocular lesions.
