Ocular steroidome in human eyes and in eyes with complex central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).

ABSTRACT: The exact link between systemic and ocular endogenous corticoids (steroidome) is unclear and whether the ocular steroidome is altered in CSCR eyes is unknown. The aims of this study were to analyze the human steroidome in the aqueous humor as a function of age, sex and time of the day, to correlate systemic and ocular steroidome and to analyze the ocular steroidome in long lasting complex inactive CSCR. Based on our results, we present two CSCR cases treated by the combination of oral mineralocorticoid antagonist and glucocorticoids drops. In a cross-sectional study, aqueous humor (AH) was collected between 8am and 6 pm from 50 unaffected individuals (25 men and 25 women) and from 14 patients with chronic CSCR, during cataract surgery. In addition, simultaneous serum and AH were collected
