Retinal pericyte degeneration, a usual finding in diabetic retinopathy, has been shown to be a change probably peculiar to the retina rather than part of a more widespread angiopathy. Thus in a patient with diabetic retinopathy the characteristic eosinophilic degeneration of the pericyte nuclei ceased at the optic disc and could not be found in vessels of the optic nerves and brain.
视网膜周细胞变性是糖尿病视网膜病变中的常见表现，已被证明这可能是视网膜特有的变化，而非更广泛血管病变的一部分。因此，在患有糖尿病视网膜病变的患者中，周细胞核特征性的嗜酸性变性在视盘处停止，在视神经和脑部血管中未发现。
