Abstract
(44-68) human Parathyroid hormone (hPTH) was studied in subretinal fluids (SRF) of 20 human eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. A (44-68) hPTH carboxyl mid-regional radioimmunoassay was used. Depending on the extent and the duration of the retinal detachments, (44-68) hPTH ranged between normal serum levels (ca. 100-300 pg/ml) up to excessive amounts of 4000 pg/ml with longstanding disease and proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Aqueous humors (AH) of one patient with bilateral iridocyclitis and complicated cataract ranged at 90-132 pg/ml (44-68) hPTH, whereas a control population undergoing surgery for senile cataracts had no detectable (44-68) hPTH in AH. The AH of one diseased eye of heterochromia complicata Fuchs showed excessive amounts of more than 4000 pg/ml (44-68) hPTH.
