<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> This study examined the relationship between proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and serum levels of C-reactive protein, VEGF, TNF-α, and IL-6 inflammatory biomarkers, related to the pathophysiology of diabetic retinopathy. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This cross-sectional, case control study comprised 240 patients with type 1 diabetes (80 cases with PDR and 160 controls without diabetic retinopathy) who were matched for gender and duration of diabetes. <b><i>Results:</i></b> C-reactive protein was the only inflammatory biomarker that was positively related to PDR (OR 1.96; 95% CI 1.01–3.78, <i>p</i> = 0.0045). We also noted an association between high glycated hemoglobin levels, the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, low glomerular filtration rate, and PDR. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Patients with higher levels of C-reactive protein are more likely to present with PDR. We did not find a link between serum levels of VEGF, TNF-α, or IL-6 and PDR. The function of inflammatory biomarkers in PDR must be addressed in further studies.
