Summary: | To study the correlation between serum antimyeloperoxidase (MPO) antibody levels with severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR).
Study subjects included 60 consecutive cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM): no diabetic retinopathy (NODR, n=20); nonproliferative DR (NPDR, n=20); proliferative DR (PDR, n=20) and 20 healthy controls. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was measured on logMAR scale. Serum anti-MPO antibody levels were evaluated using ELISA IgG kit. Serum urea and creatinine was measured using standard protocol. Data were analysed statistically.
Mean serum anti-MPO antibody (RU/ml) was 16.94±4.85 in controls, 17.66±4.78 in NODR, 21.51±5.27 in NPDR and 37.27±11.92 in PDR groups. On ANOVA, significant difference in visual acuity was found among the study groups (F=73.46, p |
