Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy is major cause of visual impairment and blindness in diabetic patients worldwide. The concept of diabetic retinopathy as vascular disease has established into not only microvascular complication but also neurodegeneration problems. Neurodegeneration plays an important role in pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. In fact, neuroretinal changes in diabetes can take place even before vasculopathy can be clinically detected.  This condition is marked by accelerated loss of neurons due to apoptosis, particularly in the inner retinal layer. The characteristic of neurodegeneration can be detected through retinal imaging and electrodiagnostics. This review is very crucial, because identifying the pathophysiology of diabetic neurodegeneration better, we may be able to provide interventions using the appropriate therapy. We may also be able to utilize these diagnostic tools  for early detections of diabetic retinopathy, thus preventing blindness due to diabetes.

Abstract

Purpose: To identify whether the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer is useful in detecting severity of peripheral neurodegeneration in diabetic patients Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. 36 people were enrolled in this study which is divided into two groups. 18 people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) and 18 people with type 2 DM non-DPN. All subjects were 40-60 years old, and the best corrected visual acuity was better than 0,2 logMAR. An Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) examination was carried out to determine the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL) thickness, and an Electroneuromyography examination was applied to establish a diagnosis of DPN. Data were analyzed with independent T-test and Spearman correlation analysis. Results: The average RNFL thickness in the DM with DPN was thinner than the RNFL thickness in the DM non-DPN group (100.22 ± 38; vs 102.61±9.11; p 0.444). At temporal quadrant and nasal quadrant, RNFL was also thinner in DM DPN group than DM non-DPN group (71.78±12.21, vs 76.33 ± 8.53, p 0.203; and 75.11±11.38 vs 77.39 ± 14, p 0.596). Sural and tibial amplitude (14.44±2.87 and 6.85± 4.98) , were the most significant predictor values in determining the severity of DPN (p=0.000). Average, temporal, and nasal RNFL thinning has an inverse association with DPN severity (r=-0,285; -0,258;and -0,126) Conclusion: RNFL was thinner at average, temporal, nasal quadrant in the DM group with DPN compared to DM non-DPN group. RNFL thickness has an inverse association with the severity of the DPN although they were not statistically significant.
