Abstract

The role of coagulation factors in diabetic retinopathy was studied in non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients. Patients with retionopathy had higher levels of beta thromboglobulin, von Willebrand factor and fibrinogen levels compared to diabetics without retinopathy and controls. Serum magnesium levels were not significantly different between the groups studied. The role of coagulation factors in the aetiopathogenesis of diabetes retinopathy merits further study.
