Retinal vascular integrity following correction of diabetic ketoacidosis in children and adolescents

Increased permeability of the cerebral microvasculature occurs during the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Microvascular changes consistent with diabetic retinopathy have been reported prior to and after the treatment of DKA. This study evaluated the structural and functional aspects of the...

Zusammenfassung:Increased permeability of the cerebral microvasculature occurs during the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Microvascular changes consistent with diabetic retinopathy have been reported prior to and after the treatment of DKA. This study evaluated the structural and functional aspects of the retina immediately following the correction of DKA. Seven young patients had comprehensive ophthalmologic examinations, including fluorescein angiography, within 24 h after the correction of severe DKA (pH
