The value of C reactive protein in predicting diabetic retinopathy

Objective To explore the value of C-reactive protein in prediction of diabetic retinopathy.Methods From 2012March to 2013October,101case of type 2diabetes patients were admitted to Department of Endocrinology.according to patients with diabetic retinopathy,the patients were divided into disease group(diabetic retinopathy,42cases)and non disease group(59cases without diabetic retinopathy),respectively detect level of serum Creactive protein in two groups of patients.Results The C-reactive protein in the serum of lesions group and no lesion serum were(2.11±0.81)mg/L and(2.98±0.93)mg/L group,C-reactive protein of disease group was significantly higher than those of non disease patients(P0.05);with the retinopathy grade rising,C-reactive protein is rising successively.Conclusion The level of C-reactive protein in serum of Patients with diabetic retinopathy would be increased,gradually increasing with retinopathy classification upgraded;it suggested that the levels of C reactive protein in type 2diabetes mellitus retinopathy severity has some predictive value.
