DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULARISATION ACCOMPANYING AGE-RELATED WET MACULAR DEGENERATION BY LOCAL IMMUNOLOGICAL PROFILE

摘要

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: invention represents a differential diagnostic technique for types of choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) accompanying age-related wet macular dystrophy characterised by measuring the concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor that is followed by evaluating the results by the measured values. If the concentration is more than 650 pg/ml, classical CNV is diagnosed; the value of 300-400 pg/ml enables diagnosing combined CNV; and the value of less than 160 pg/ml shows active fibrovascular CNV.EFFECT: higher accuracy and simplifying the differential diagnostic technique of types of choroidal neovascularisation accompanying age-related wet macular dystrophy.3 ex
