Evaluation of Choroidal Thickness and Retinal Vessel Density with Serum HIF-1α and TNF-α Level in Patients with OSAS
Increased serum levels of inflammatory mediators (HIF-1α ve TNF-α) in OSAS cause a decrease in SFCT, SVD, and DVD, which is an indication of systemic vascular damage. Further research on developing treatment strategies to modulate TNF-α ve HIF-1α may help recede vascular morbidity in OSAS patients.
