Abstract / Description
Uveitis is a group of inflammatory eye diseases, which may affect the iris, ciliary body, choroid and other structures, and in severe cases may lead to vision loss. Due to the variety of causes and complex pathogenesis of uveitis, the empirical use of drugs in the absence of clear etiology is likely to be counterproductive and delay the patient's condition. In recent years, the analysis of intraocular fluid (including aqueous humor and vitreous body) has made significant progress in the diagnosis, etiology research and treatment of uveitis. Therefore, this review summarized the latest research progress of intraocular fluid in uveitis, especially its application in etiological diagnosis, biomarkers and treatment strategies, hoping to provide new insights for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of uveitis.
