Forensic Aspect of Association of Low-density Lipoprotein and Retinopathy in Diabetic Patients

Introduction: Around 10% of people with diabetes are at risk of losing their eyesight due to diabetic retinopathy,which is a leading cause of blindness globally. Numerous studies have shown that limiting the incidence andprogression of diabetic retinopathy requires thorough treatment of the risk factors for the disease in situationsinvolving diabetic patients who have had retinopathy, forensic specialists are frequently requested to reviewmedical data and offer expert testimony. In such circumstances, physicians may investigate the patient’s medicalhistory, taking into account their LDL levels and other risk factors, to see if medical malpractice or carelessnesscontributed to the development of retinopathy.Aims: The objective is to develop medical provider guidelines, estimate the prospective association between lowdensitylipoprotein (LDL) and the risk of retinopathy in diabetic patients with type 2 diabetes, and look into anypossible role for malpractice or negligence on the part of medical professionals.Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis of all 300 samples collected from patients diagnosed with diabeticretinopathy at the Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences Lucknow. Using univariate, bivariate, andmultivariate analyses, retinal results were associated with blood lipid levels.Result: In diabetic patients with retinopathy, LDL values were considerably greater than in those withoutretinopathy (p 0.001). Studying the forensic aspects of the relationship between LDL and diabetic patients’retinopathy is crucial because it can enhance patient outcomes and guard against malpractice and mistakes inmedicine.Conclusion: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is a sensitive target marker to foretell cardiovascular events aswell as the requirement for laser therapy in individuals with hypercholesterolemia and diabetic retinopathy. Thejudicial system’s capacity to establish responsibility and pay damages in such situations may be affected by the useof LDL levels as a biomarker for predicting the development of retinopathy.
