Diabetic Retinopathy: Screening to Treatment (Oxford Diabetes Library) (2 edn)

Edited by Ramesh R. Sivaraj and Paul M. Dodson

Previous Edition (1 ed.)

Abstract

Background diabetic retinopathy (DR) can involve several different microvascular pathologies, which will be explained with example images. These include microaneurysms, haemorrhages, exudates, cotton wool spots, and venous loops. The reader will learn how these features relate to the grading and referral criteria. This book aims to provide information on how these pathologies develop and why it is important that they are recognized in the earlier stages of background DR. It will demonstrate how ischaemia can affect the capillary network and also how related conditions, such as hypertension and blood glucose, can contribute to vascular changes. In addition, this book will explain how to differentiate normal variants from DR changes.
