Abstract

To investigate changes of tear osmolarity in patients with Graves ophthalmopathy (GO). Twenty-three patients with GO (GO group) and 25 healthy controls (control group) were enrolled in the study. GO patients were divided into two subgroups as active GO and inactive GO subgroups. Orbital inflammatory activity was evaluated using the clinical activity score (CAS). Tear osmolarity was measured using TearLab Osmolarity System (TearLab™ Corp., San Diego, CA). The GO patients had significantly higher tear osmolarity levels than the healthy controls (p

Abstract

Graves oftalmopati (GO)’li hastalarda gözyaşı osmolarite değişikliklerini araştırmak. Yirmiüç GO hastası (GO grubu) ve 25 sağlıklı gönüllü (kontrol grubu) çalışmaya dahil edildi. GO grubu da aktif ve inaktif GO grupları olmak üzere iki alt gruba ayrıldı. Orbital inflamasyon aktivitesi klinik aktive skoru (KAS) esas alınarak hesaplandı. Gözyaşı osmolaritesi TearLab Osmolarite Sistemi (TearLab™ Corp., San Diego, CA) kullanılarak ölçüldü. GO grubu kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı derecede daha yüksek gözyaşı osmolarite değerlerine sahipti (p<0.001). Ayrıca aktif GO alt grubu inaktif GO alt grubuna göre anlamlı derecede yüksek gözyaşı osmolarite değerine sahipti (p=0.003). Bu çalışmada GO hastalarında gözyaşı osmolaritesinin kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı derecede daha yüksek olduğunu gösterilmiştir. Ayrıca hastalık aktivititesi ile gözyaşı osmolaritesi arasında bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Bu nedenle GO hastalarında gözyaşı osmolaritesi kuru göz ciddiyetinin teşhisinde ve GO hastalığının aktivitesinin belirlenmesinde diğer testlerle beraber yardımcı olabileceğini düşünmekteyiz
