  ABSTRACT: Objective: To determine the association between the acute inflammatory markers and Diabetic Renal-Retinal Syndrome in our patients. Methods: A total of 44 patients were included in this transverse (cross sectional), observational, analytical, and comparative study. Two groups of patients were created. Results: In patients with chronic renal failure, stages 3, 4, or 5 (scale 1 to 5) were identified and divided into two groups: Group I (Patients with concomitant diabetic retinopathy stabilized with photocoagulation) 22 patients. Group II (Patients with progression of retinopathy, after photocoagulation, in the form of intraocular bleeding) 22 patients. The number of patients with chronic renal failure in stage 3 was: Group I; 16. In Group II; 12 patients (OR: 1.0). Stage 4: Group I; 4 patients. Group II: 3 patients (OR: 1.0, CI 95%; 0.3843 - 2.021). Stage 5: Group I; 2 patients. Group II; 7 patients (OR: 1.8148, CI 95%; 1.0448 - 3.1523; Chi-squared (x2) 2.7450, p = 0.097). t-Test found statistical significance in Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR): p
