Also all patents send for lab. To investigate HbA1c and albumin/creatinine ratio. Examination of fundus done after application of mydriatic eye drops (tropic amid) and used slit limp bio microscope and 90 D lens. Results: 75 patients included in our study, age of patients 51.4±13.7 years old, duration of Diabetes M. 7.1±4.2 years, 47 (63%) male included in our study and 28 (37%) female, also 12 (16%) of patients type 1 DM and 63 (84%) type 2 DM, there is significant association (P-value <0.05)between degree of retinopathy and (albumin/creatinine) ratio; 29% of patents with microalbuminuria and 16% of patients with macro albuminuria, 9% of patients with ADED have macro albuminuria, 5% of patients with PDR have macro albuminuria, while 16%of patients with NPDR have microalbuminuria, 8% of patients with PDR have microalbuminuria.
