A study on oxidized-LDL cholesterol in normolipidemic retinal vein occlusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) has been implicated in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Arteriolosclerosis is an important causative factor for retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Till, date there dearth of literature on ox-LDL and RVO. Aims Objectives: The objectives this study were to see whether cholesterol independent risk RVO with normal lipid profile. Materials Methods: Lipid profiles levels assayed 122 adult unilateral cases 142 age sex matched controls 1 year old case–control study. Results: significantly elevated than (54.5±6.1 vs. 36.6±5.6 controls, P<0.01), although serum both controls. Conclusion: ox-LDL-induced atherosclerosis may be responsible the venous absence other factors. Hence, screening patients should worth considering especially profiles.

Retinal vein occlusions (RVO) are the second commonest sight threatening vascular disorder. Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) are the two basic types of vein occlusion. Branch retinal vein occlusion is three times more common than central retinal vein occlusion and- second only to diabetic retinopathy as the most common retinal vascular cause of visu...
