Background. Previous studies have revealed that the variation of thyroid indicators may be associated with the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among euthyroid type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. But the specific conclusions are currently inconsistent. Methods. This is a hospital-based retrospective survey. We recruited 1,145 euthyroid T2D patients and checked the thyroid function and fundus photographs. The modified Airlie House classification system was used to categorize the stages of DR. The association between thyroid indicators and different stages of DR was analyzed. Results. We divided free triiodothyronine (FT3) into tertiles and found that the prevalence of mild nonproliferative DR (NPDR) was significantly higher in T2, compared with T1 (32.0% vs. 25.2%, p < 0.05 ). When FT3 was within the level of T2, FT3 could be an independent risk factor for mild NPDR (OR 1.426, 95% CI (1.031, 1.971), p < 0.05 ). In addition, the prevalence of severe NPDR and proliferative DR (PDR) was significantly higher in thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) positive group (8.8% vs. 4.1%, p < 0.05 ) and vice versa (33.3% vs. 18.4%, p < 0.05 ). TgAb positivity was also an independent risk factor for severe NPDR and PDR (OR 2.212, 95% CI (1.244, 3.934), p < 0.05 ). Conclusions. We hardly observed a significant change in DR risk with the elevation or reduction of serum TSH or thyroid hormone within the reference interval. Although the slightly elevated FT3 may be associated to mild NPDR, the extensibility of this result remains to be seen. For T2D patients with euthyroid function, there may be a significant correlation between serum TgAb positivity and severe NPDR and PDR.
