Effect of Complex Treatment of Patients with Autoimmune Uveitis on the Content of Cytokines in Tear Fluid

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to study the effect of complex treatment using platelet autoplasma on the content of cytokines in the lacrimal fluid in patients with autoimmune uveitis.

Materials and methods. 40 people with non-infectious uveitis were examined: 18 men, 22 women. The patients were divided into two groups: the main group (anti-inflammatory treatment and administration of platelet autoplasma); comparison (anti-inflammatory treatment). Patients underwent a standard ophthalmological examination. IL-4, IL-6 was determined in the lacrimal fluid before and after treatment.

Conclusion. The use of platelet autoplasma in the treatment of patients is path genetically justified, since it leads to a more pronounced decrease in the activity of the immunoinflammatory process, which is confirmed by the dynamics of changes in the concentrations of the studied cytokines.
