Glomerular Filtration Rate and/or Ratio of Urine Albumin to Creatinine as Markers for Diabetic Retinopathy: A Ten-Year Follow-Up Study

Figure 2

Plots of risk function of Cox study. The y-axis represents the accumulative risk to develop diabetic retinopathy, and the x-axis represents diabetes mellitus duration in years. The green curve represents the effect of patients with renal failure as a risk factor, and the blue curve patients without renal failure. At the top, there is the analysis of renal failure measured with UACR ≥ 300 mg/g, and at the bottom eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m².
