Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus-Report 2: Diabetic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to investigate potential associations between optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) parameters and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) categories in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients and controls. A complete ocular and systemic examination, including OCTA imaging tests and bloods, was performed. OCTA parameters included vessel density (VD), perfusion density (PD), foveal avascular zone area (FAZa), perimeter (FAZp) and circularity (FAZc) in the superficial vascular plexus, and DKD categories were defined according to glomerular filtration rate (GFR), albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) and KDIGO prognosis risk classifications. A total of 425 individuals (1 eye/1 patient) were included. Reduced VD and FAZc were associated with greater categories of GFR (p = 0.002, p = 0.04), ACR (p = 0.003, p = 0.005) and KDIGO risk prognosis classifications (p = 0.002, p = 0.005). FAZc was significantly reduced in greater KDIGO prognosis risk categories (low risk vs. moderate risk, 0.65 ± 0.09 vs. 0.60 ± 0.07, p < 0.05). VD and FAZc presented the best diagnostic performance in ROCs. In conclusion, OCTA parameters, such as VD and FAZc, are able to detect different GFR, ACR, and KDIGO categories in T1DM patients and controls in a non-invasive, objective quantitative way. FAZc is able to discriminate within T1DM patients those with greater DKD categories and greater risk of DKD progression.

Project description:PurposeTo assess the optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) retinal vessel density and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and compare potential pathologic early changes in this population to healthy age-matched controls.MethodsThis study included 130 pubescent children: 94 with T1D (188 eyes) and 36 of their age-matched control group (60 eyes). OCTA was performed using AngioVue (Avanti, Optivue). FAZ area (mm2) in superficial plexus, whole superficial capillary vessel density (wsVD), fovea superficial vessel density (fsVD), parafovea superficial vessel density (psVD), whole deep vessel density (wdVD), fovea deep vessel density (fdVD), parafovea deep vessel density (pdVD), foveal thickness (FT) (μm) and parafoveal thickness (PFT) (μm) were taken into analysis. Among the studied patients with T1D there were assessed codependences regarding the investigated foveal and parafoveal parameters and selected potential predictors, i.e. patient's age (years), diabetes duration time (years), age of onset of the disease (years), mean level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) (%), and concentration of serum creatinine (mg/dL).ResultsNone of the abovementioned OCT and OCTA parameters was statistically significantly different between the groups. The patient's age statistically significantly did not influent any of the OCT and OCTA parameters. Yet an elevated level of HbA1C tended to reduce the parafovea superficial vessel density (p = 0.039), and parafoveal thickness (p = 0.003) and an increased serum creatinine level correlated with the decreased whole deep vessel density (p < 0.001). The parafovea deep vessel density in the diabetic patients decreased when the serum creatinine level (p = 0.008), age of onset of the disease (p = 0.028), and diabetes duration time (p = 0.014) rose.ConclusionsVessel density, both in superficial and deep plexuses, and FAZ area are normal in pubescent children with T1D comparing to healthy subjects. An elevated level of HbA1C correlated with reduced psVD and PFT. Longitudinal observation of these young patients is needed to determine if any of these OCTA measurements are predictive of future DR severity.

Project description:Optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography is a dye-free and non-invasive angiography which allows visualization of retinal and choroid vascular flow, enabling observation of highly permeable and three dimensional vasculature. Although OCT angiography is providing new insights in human retinal and choroidal diseases, a few studies have been reported in experimental mice. In this study, to determine the potential of OCT angiography in experimental mice, we sought to examine whether OCT angiography can detect vascular change in type I diabetic mice. To conduct age dependent analysis, 2 and 6 month old male type 1 diabetic Ins2Akita/+ and age matched C57BL/6J mice were used. OCT angiography was performed by Heidelberg Spectralis OCT Angiography Module with 30° lens + mouse adapter lens. We acquired the OCT angiography image from the peripheral nasal position. For analysis of OCT angiography images, OCT angiography positive area were used for vascular density. We analyzed vascular density from the retinal surface (inner limiting membrane) to 120 μm depth with 4 μm steps in order to correlate vascular density vs depth (N = 4 per group). Vascular density of both mouse strains demonstrated three different peaks. By comparing with the OCT image, the first peak (superficial), second peak (intermediate) and third peak (deep) were located in nerve fiber layer/ganglion cell layer, inner plexiform layer/inner nuclear layer and outer plexiform layer/outer nuclear layer, respectively. We calculated vascular density of these peaks separately. In C57BL/6J mice, the vascular density in all three layers do not show significant difference between 2- and 6-month-old. On the other hand, 6-month-old Ins2Akita/+ mice showed a significant decrease of the vascular density in all three layers compared to 2-month-old Ins2Akita/+ mice. Also, the vascular density of 6-month-old Ins2Akita/+ mice in the deep layer showed a significant decrease compared to 2- and 6-month-old C57BL/6J mice. Thus, OCT angiography successfully detects retinal vascular difference between type I diabetic mice and control mice, and age-dependent vasculature change in type I diabetic mice. The diabetic mice demonstrated reduced vascular density due to reduced density of flowing deep vessels. Importantly, we observed this difference without retinal blood leakage, hemorrhage or neovascularization. Our analysis (vascular density vs retinal depth) suggests that OCT angiography is useful for in vivo detection of retinal vasculature alteration in experimental mice.
