The Russian medical experts recently developed a new method of diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy, just tears through the analysis component, we can analyze the object to know whether the disease.
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness caused by young people. This disease occurs in the retina, since the diabetes caused by oxygen so that the light-sensitive part of the damaged eye. Early lesions occur in the retina, most patients do not feel the eye, and when the eye noticeable symptoms, retinopathy have been more serious, often losing the best time of their treatment, leading to blindness. Thus, medical experts have always hoped for early detection of this disease in order to control the disease progresses, blindness prevention.
According to “Russian newspaper” report, the Russian medical experts found that risk of diabetic retinopathy in patients with diabetes, their blood will become very thick. In the early stages of diabetic retinopathy, and viscosity of blood is flowing through the blood vessels in the retina, so only an analysis of the retina’s blood can be an early diagnosis of diabetic patients suffering from a diabetic retinopathy. However, extracting the blood from the retina is both complex and dangerous, is not suitable for practical application.
The Russian researchers in the study to find ways to solve this problem. In their view, the eye in the blood of substances that promote blood coagulation components through capillary walls and penetrate into tears inside the cornea, the eye tears contain blood components that reflect the information, by analyzing the composition of tears of the ingredients can understand the eye changes in blood viscosity, which can be made early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy.
Russian experts believe that as the tears of blood and other body fluids such as urine, containing a number of physiological response to the situation of information, by analyzing the composition of tears, you can understand people’s physical health.
