| Popis: | Purpose Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) has been associated with oxidative stress–related risk factors. The objective of this study was to optimize an analytical method for evaluating the oxidative stress biomarker malondialdehyde (MDA) in human tears and determine its level in the tears of patients with CSCR. Methods In this pilot study, tear samples were obtained from 34 healthy donors and 31 treatment-naïve CSCR male patients (eight with acute CSCR and 23 with chronic CSCR). Two analytical methods based on high-performance liquid chromatography followed by fluorescence detection were evaluated, with either 2-thiobarbituric derivative (TBA) or 2-aminoacridone (2-AA). Activity of CSCR was defined by the serous retinal detachment (SRD) height, which was measured by two independent observers on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Results The 2-AA method showed higher sensitivity and precision compared to the TBA method. When the 2-AA method was applied to tears from healthy donors, the levels of MDA were statistically significantly higher in men compared to women (mean ± standard deviation, SD: 9,914 nM ± 6,126 versus 4,635 nM ± 1,173, p = 0.006). No difference was found in tear MDA levels between male patients with CSCR and age-matched control men (p = 0.17). However, MDA levels were statistically significantly higher in acute compared to chronic CSCR cases (mean ± SD: 12,295 nM ± 8,495 versus 6,790 ± 3,969 nM, p = 0.03). Additionally, there was a correlation between MDA levels and RPE leakage, quantified by the height of the serous retinal detachment (p = 0.02, r = 0.40). Conclusions Levels of MDA in tears, measured with an optimized analytical method, correlate with RPE leakage in CSCR. |
