Intraocular pressure in Japanese diabetic patients

Abstract: BackgroundTo determine whether the intraocular pressure (IOP) in diabetic patients is significantly different from that in nondiabetic patients.MethodsThe medical records of all patients who were initially examined in the Department of Ophthalmology, Kansai Medical University, Takii Hospital were reviewed. At the initial examination, patients had a detailed interview and underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examinations. All patients were over 20 years of age and did not have glaucoma.ResultsA total of 703 pat… Show more

“…Although several risk factors such as HbA1C have been suggested, the causative factors associated with high IOP in diabetic patients have not yet been elucidated. Albuminuria is a well-known marker of nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes [5] , [8] , [18] . Recent studies have emphasized the role of albuminuria as an indicator of cardiovascular outcome and a marker of vascular endothelial dysfunction [19] – [23] .…”

“…Also there was no significant difference between the diabetic retinopathy grades (p value=0,183 or some aspects of glucose metabolism could affect IOP. 9 Diabetes mellitus is known to cause microvaskular damage and may affect the autoregulatory action of the blood vessels in the retina and optic nerve. Diabetes has been found to be associated with elevated IOP and has therefore been suggested to be a possible risk factor for glaucoma, particulary open-angle glaucoma.…”

“…Andere Studien aus anderen geografischen Regionen unterstützen diese These [6][7][8]. Es finden sich jedoch auch Untersuchungen zu diesem Thema, die eine Assoziation zwischen Diabetes mellitus und erhöhtem IOD, aber keine Assoziation zu einem Glaukom und einem Optikusschaden nachweisen können [9][10][11]. Allerdings stößt man bei der Literaturrecherche auch auf eine Studie mit 6631 Patienten aus Schottland, bei der keine Assoziation zwischen Diabetes mellitus und PCOWG oder erhöhtem IOD nachgewiesen werden konnte [12] sowie einer Studie mit gleichem Ergebnis aus Rotterdam an 3837 Patienten [13].…”

“…Teilweise wird der erhöhte IOD auf die bei Diabetikern erhöhte Hornhautdicke und veränderte Hornhautstruktur zurückgeführt [14]. So könnte es sich eventuell sogar um einen Messfehler und keinen real erhöhten IOD handeln [9]. Der Grund für den in einigen Studien festgestellen vermehrten Optikusschaden bei Diabetikern, teilweise auch ohne massiv erhöhten IOD, wird in dem durch den Diabetes mellitus verursachten mikrovaskulären Schaden gesehen.…”
