| To detect the presence of urotensin-2 (U-II) in the aqueous humor and evaluate the relationship between aqueous humor level and systemic diseases and pupil size. The study included 88 patients who underwent cataract surgery. Those with a pupil diameter (PD) of up to 4 mm were considered to have small dilation, those with 4-7 mm of dilatation were considered to have moderate dilation, and those with a PD of more than 7 mm considered to have large dilation. Patients with HT (hypertension) were classified as group 1, those with DM (diabetes mellitus) as group 2, and those with HT+DM as group 3, and those without any systemic disease as group 4. The U-II levels in humor aqueous samples taken from anterior chamber were measured. When compared with the control group, it was observed that the level of U-II in the aqueous humor of the HT, DM, and DM+HT groups was significantly higher ( < 0.05). At the same time, when we compared the DM+HT group with the other groups, the level of U-II in the aqueous humor was significantly higher compared to the group with DM ( < 0.05). The U-II levels of the aqueous humor were higher in the patients with small pupils compared to the remaining groups ( < 0.005). U-II may play a role in small pupil pathophysiology. In addition, it was determined that patients with HT and/or diabetes had higher U-II levels in the aqueous humor than healthy individuals. |
