Vitreous and Plasma VEGF Levels as Predictive Factors in the Progression of Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy after Vitrectomy
PURPOSE To investigate the vitreous and plasma levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and to determine whether they predict a disease prognosis after primary vitrectomy. METHODS Fifty patients (50 eyes) with PDR who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and 56 healthy controls (56 eyes) were enrolled in this retrospective ...
متن کاملElevated LRP6 levels correlate with vascular endothelial growth factor in the vitreous of proliferative diabetic retinopathy
PURPOSE To measure intravitreal low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in the eyes of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and to observe their correlation with PDR activity. METHODS Fifty-five eyes of 55 patients were enrolled consecutively. Vitreous samples from 30 eyes with PDR and 25 eyes with nondia...
متن کاملComment on: 'Plasma, aqueous and vitreous homocysteine levels in proliferative diabetic retinopathy'.
BACKGROUND/AIMS To compare homocysteine (Hcy) concentration in the blood plasma, vitreous and aqueous of eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) against control, and to investigate associations between Hcy concentration in blood plasma with that of aqueous and vitreous in these two groups. METHODS Blood plasma, aqueous and vitreous samples were collected during combined cataract an...
متن کاملDiabetic Retinopathy and VEGF
Diabetic retinopathy remains the leading vascular-associated cause of blindness throughout the world. Its treatment requires a multidisciplinary interventional approach at both systemic and local levels. Current management includes laser photocoagulation, intravitreal steroids, and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment along with systemic blood sugar control. Anti-VEGF therap...
متن کاملPlasma Total Homocysteine Levels in Diabetic Retinopathy
We read with great interest the recently published article by Malaguarnera et al. [1].This studywas aimed at evaluating the plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) levels in diabetic patients with and without retinopathy for the progression of diabetic retinopathy. In conclusion, higher plasma levels of tHcy have been found in diabetic patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy compared to both ...
