Abstract:
Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is a subclinical state of mild hypothyroidism. In recent years, the impact of SCH on multiple systems of the body has gradually attracted attention. Although SCH patients usually do not have obvious clinical symptoms, studies have shown that SCH may be associated with a variety of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome. Due to the complex interrelationship between diabetes mellitus and thyroid disease, researchers have begun to pay attention to the potential impact of SCH on diabetic retinopathy (diabetic retinopathy, DR). This article aims to comprehensively review the current research progress on the impact of SCH on DR, and explore in depth the pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and treatment strategies, providing clinicians with more comprehensive diagnostic and treatment ideas.
