Popis: PURPOSE To evaluate and correlate levels of various proteins involved in coagulation, inflammation and angiogenesis processes in the vitreous of patients with different vitreoretinal pathologies. METHODS Vitreous samples were collected from patients scheduled for pars plana vitrectomy for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), vitreous haemorrhage or tractional retinal detachment associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Macular hole and epiretinal membrane served as controls. Levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, thrombin-antithrombin III complex, interleukin-8, tissue factor, thrombomodulin, P-selectin, D-dimer and tissue factor pathway inhibitor were compared among the vitreoretinal pathology groups. RESULTS Compared to controls, patients with PDR had significantly higher levels of thrombin-antithrombin III complex (p
