Abstract

Aim: To determine plasma lipid levels in patients with pseudoexfoliation (pex) glaucoma. Methods: Eighty-one patients with pex glaucoma, 26 patients with pex syndrome and 67 controls were included into this study group. Plasma total cholesterol, HDL- cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol and trigliserid levels were measured. Results: There was no statisticillay significant difference among the groups in terms of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and LDL- cholesterol levels ( p>0.05 ). VLDL-cholesterol and trigliserid levels were significantly higher in controls than pseudoexfoliation glaucoma and syndrome (respectively; p=0.017, p=0.010). Conclusion: There was no relation between plasma lipid levels and pseudoexfoliation.

Özet

Amaç: Psödoeksfolyatif (pex) glokomlu olgularda serum lipid seviyelerini kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırmak. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya 81 pex glokomlu hasta, 26 pex sendromlu hasta ve 67 kontrol olgusu dahil edildi. Tüm olguların serumlarında total kolesterol, HDL- kolesterol, LDL- kolesterol, VLDL- kolesterol ve trigliserid düzeyi ölçüldü. Bulgular: Total kolesterol, HDL- kolesterol, LDL- kolesterol seviyeleri açısından gruplar arasında istatistiksel farklılık saptanmadı ( p>0.05 ). VLDL- kolesterol ve trigliserid düzeyi ise kontrol grubunda pex glokomlu ve pex sendromlu gruba göre belirgin olarak daha yüksekti (sırasıyla; p=0.017, p=0.010). Sonuç: Serum lipid düzeyi ve psödoeksfolyasyon arasında bir ilişki saptanmadı.
