We hardly observed a significant change in DR risk with the elevation or reduction of serum TSH or thyroid hormone within the reference interval. Although the slightly elevated FT3 may be associated to mild NPDR, the extensibility of this result remains to be seen. For T2D patients with euthyroid function, there may be a significant correlation between serum TgAb positivity and severe NPDR and PDR.
