Abstract:
The global burden of Chronic Kidney Disease has increased in recent years and its major causes are increased sedentary lifestyle practices along with growing numbers of diabetics, hypertensive and obese people. Retinopathy is defined as the presence abnormal changes in the micro vessels of the eye. These abnormal changes can predict the micro vascular changes in other vital organs of body which usually share a similar morphological pattern. Retinopathy is being considered as a predictor as early predictor a vascular changes, as it can prematurely detect micro vascular abnormalities in, vital organs that have a micro vascular structure similar to the retina. Reasonable amount of research work has been done to study the association between retinopathy and CKD. It is now a proven fact that the type of retinopathy and its severity have a directly proportionate relation with the progression of CKD or decline eGFR in both diabetics and non-diabetic patients. But the proliferation rate may differ in both.
