Core Tip
Core Tip: The assessment of optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers in diabetic retinopathy (DR) and their correlation with diabetic kidney disease plays an essential role in the prognostication of kidney disease. The OCT biomarkers can help to detect nephropathy before the clinical signs appear and facilitate an early initiation of renoprotective therapy, which may potentially reduce morbidity and mortality due to renal disease in patients with DR.
