Analysis of endothelial dysfunction biomarkers in patients with various cases of retinal vessel occlusion

Abstract
Retinal vascular occlusion is a severe vascular condition of the retina, leading to a significant decrease in vision and blindness. Endothelial dysfunction plays a pathogenetically important role in the development of thrombosis. The aim of this study was to quantify biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction. The content of VEGF tear fluid and serum homocysteine was studied in 3 groups – in group I (patients with occlusion of the central retinal vein), group II (patients with occlusion of the central retinal artery) and control group (patients without vascular disorders). The groups were comparable in gender and age. The results showed an increased content of VEGF and homocysteine in patients with the central artery of the retina occlusion. The content of markers in patients with the central artery of the retina occlusion was significantly lower than group I, but significantly higher than the control group. The results show the involvement of the endothelium in the local thrombotic process.
