7 May 2024 • In recent research, dry eye prevalence was significantly higher among those with type 2 diabetic nephropathy (T2DN) compared to diabetics without renal complications (55.6% versus 37.3%).

Additionally, T2DN patients with DE showed higher rates of comorbidities including hypertension, peripheral nerve complications, and anemia, along with elevated plasma glucose, HbA1C, urea, creatinine, and CRP-hs levels compared to those without DE.
