Eye vessels and retina change in Alport syndrome: a 34-patient study from Ankara
A study published in a journal and reviewed by independent scientists. Even so, a single study is not conclusive; it needs to be replicated.
Eye doctors at Başkent University studied the eyes of 34 patients with Alport syndrome. The findings were compared with 68 healthy people. In patients, part of the retina was thinner. The density of small eye blood vessels was also reduced. These measurements were made with painless imaging.
What does it mean for patients and families?
These findings may be useful in monitoring the eye. Still, this is a study from a single center. Plan regular eye examinations with your doctor.
