Associations & interactions – lipid profiles, retinopathy & nephropathy T1D

Nephropathy had a strong effect on the associations between lipid variables and retinopathy, while dyslipidaemia was associated with nephropathy only in the presence of retinopathy.. This finding suggests the existence of shared pathogenic mechanisms between retinopathy and nephropathy which could be targeted to prevent complications in patients with metabolic risk factors (Journal of Internal Medicine)
