About associated conditions for Diabetic Retinopathy:

Associated conditions are those which appear statistically related, but do not have a clear cause or effect relationship. Whereas the complications are caused by Diabetic Retinopathy, and underlying causes may be causes of Diabetic Retinopathy, the following list shows associated conditions that simply appear with higher frequency in people who have Diabetic Retinopathy. In some cases, there may be overlap between this list and risk factors for Diabetic Retinopathy. People with Diabetic Retinopathy may be more likely to get a condition on the list of associated conditions, or the reverse may be true, or both. Whether they are causes of, caused by, or simply coincidentally related to Diabetic Retinopathy is not always clear. For general information, see Associated Condition Misdiagnosis.
