The relationship between diabetic retinopathy and serum levels of ischemia-modified albumin and malondialdehyde.

To establish the correlation between ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) and malondialdehyde (MDA) and the development of diabetic retinopathy (DRP) in patients with diabetes mellitus. ⋯ Both serum IMA and serum MDA levels were higher in the diabetic patients compared with the control group. In particular, the high sensitivity of IMA toward DRP showed that it reflected retinal vascular complication better than MDA. Ischemia-modified albumin may be a useful marker in monitoring the risk of DRP development.
