RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the role of serum homocysteine (HCY) in diabetes mellitus(DM ) complicating proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) .Methods 174 patients with DM were selected and divided into PDR ,non‐PDR(NPDR) and non‐dia‐betic retinopathy (NDR) groups .The serum HCY level was detected .Results Serum HCY levels in the PDR ,NPDR and NDR groups were (18 .20 ± 5 .60) ,(14 .40 ± 6 .70) and ,(12 .10 ± 6 .80)μmol/L respectively ,which was highest in the PDR group (P<0 .05) .Conclusion HCY could result in PDR generation possibly by injuring the retinal blood vessels .
