Research progress of choroidal thickness in rheumatic immune diseases / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

ABSTRACT

@#Rheumatic immune disease, as a group of recurrent systemic diseases, involves the vascular system through inflammatory factors. Eye reaction can be used as a sign of rheumatic immune reactivation or disease aggravation, together with the first systemic manifestation of rheumatic immune disease. As a part of the most abundant blood flow in the eyes, choroid is an excellent evaluation index for ocular involvement, and it is greatly affected by systemic vascular diseases. And optical coherence tomography provides a scientific and accurate measuring tool for the observation of choroid thickness. However, whether changes in choroid thickness can be utilized as markers of disease activity, and progression, our results require further research. In this paper, the changes of choroid thickness in rheumatic immune diseases are analyzed.
