متن کاملAqueous cytokine levels are associated with reduced macular thickness after intravitreal ranibizumab for diabetic macular edema
PURPOSE It is controversial whether the administration of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs for diabetic macular edema (DME) affects intraocular inflammatory cytokines. In this study, we measured cytokine concentration in aqueous humor before and after intravitreal injection of ranibizumab (IVR). The aim was to determine changes in cytokine concentration and their effects on DME red...
