Erythrocyte deformability correlates with microvascular ischemia and disease severity in diabetic retinopathy.

AIMS: Impaired red blood cell (RBC) deformability is a potential contributor to microvascular dysfunction in diabetes. This study aimed to determine the association between erythrocyte deformability and the severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR), focu…
