The association of homocysteine level with the risk of diabetic nephropathy and diabetic retinopathy in NHANES

ConclusionsIn diabetic patients, Hcy was associated with increased risk of DN in a non-linear manner. In addition, Hcy was associated with the risk of DR, but the association was attenuated after adjusting for confounders. In the future, Hcy can potentially be used as an early screening indicator for diabetic microvascular complications.
