Vitreous advanced glycation endproducts and α-dicarbonyls in retinal detachment patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and non-diabetic controls

Several advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and α-dicarbonyls were measured by ultra performance liquid chromatography or high performance liquid chromatography in retinal detachment patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and non-diabetic controls. Patients were matched on age, estimated glomerular filtration rate, smoking, intra-ocular lens implantation, and proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Skin autofluorescence was measured by the AGE Reader.
