Laboratory analysis of vitreous of diabetic subjects and nondiabetic controls.

Parameter	DME ()	Control ()
VEGF (pg/mL)	192.7 (140.9–523.5)	<LOD
UA (µmol/L)	156.0 (86.0–209.0)	70.0 (48.5–138.0)
Albumin (mg/L)	1050 (618–1780)	550 (295–1495)	ns
Total protein (g/L)	6.3 (4.9–9.1)	3.6 (3.1–4.2)

Data are expressed as median with interquartile range.
ns: not significant, , , and DME versus control patients.
LOD: limit of detection (31.2 pg/mL).
