Abstract:
Summary Interrelationship of diabetic retinopathy and “Oketsu” Syndrome was analysed. 615 diabetics were physically examined by the system of Kampo, Japanese traditional medicine, and 26 kinds of signs were recorded. Among these signs, the tincture of violet in the tongue, the pigmentation and/or the subcutaneous bleeding and the telangiectasis, the recognized signs of “Oketsu” syndrome, were showed significant association with the retinopathy in these patients by chi-squared test.
These observations suggest that diabetic retinopathy would be associated with “Oketsu” syndrome.
