  • Look Inside

We measured the plasma levels of endothelin-1 by radio immunoassay in 15 uveitis patients and 13 normal controls. There was no difference in endothe-lin-1 levels between patients with inactive uveitis and controls. Patients with active uveitis, particu-larly those with sarcoidosis or Behçet disease,showed significantly higher levels. In one case of sarcoidosis, the plasma level changed parallel with aqueous protein concentration. The findings sug-gest that elevated production of endothelin-1 from systemic vessels may be involved in the patho-genesis of uveitis. Also, damage of inflammation of intraocular vessels may contribute to elevated plasma values of endothelin-1 in active uveitis.
