Investigation of associations between retinal microvascular parameters and albuminuria in UK Biobank: a cross-sectional case-control study.

This study supports previously reported associations between retinal microvascular FD and other metabolic disturbances affecting the systemic vasculature. The association between retinal microvascular FD and albuminuria, independent of diabetes and blood pressure, may represent a useful indicator of systemic vascular damage associated with albuminuria.
