Aim: To measure and correlate the levels of oestrogen in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR).
Materials and Methods: A hospital based crossectional study of 60 patients (30 with DR, 30 without DR) with diabetes of more than 10 years was carried in our institute (JN Medical College, AMU). Serum oestrogen levels were measured in both the groups at Rajiv Gandhi Centre JNMCH & relevant statistical tests were conducted to compare both the groups.
Result: Serum oestrogen was maximum in patient without DR (64.02±46.40pg/mL) and minimum in patients with DR (42.34±34.8), the result was found to be significant (t = -2.047, P<0>
Oestrogen has a protective effect on diabetic retinopathy occurrence, through it has no statistically significant relation to its severity.
