Abstract:Background. Acute primary angle closure (APAC) caused by an abrupt closure of trabecular meshwork can develop into angle closure glaucoma due to uncontrolled IOP. Under reduced oxygen tension, hypoxia inducible transcription factors will be accumulated. EPO (erythropoietin) and PDGF (platelet derived growth factor) families are thought to be associated with angiogenesis under hypoxic condition.Methods. Concentrations of EPO, PDGF-AA, -BB, -CC and -DD collected in aqueous humor samples were measured. Before ope… Show more
