Assessment of Retinal Blood Flow in Individuals with Monoclonal Gammopathy Utilizing OCT Angiography
Author(s): Gábor Gerencsér*
Monoclonal Gammopathy (MG) is characterized by the excessive production of monoclonal proteins, potentially leading to the onset of hyperviscosity
syndrome. This study aims to evaluate retinal circulation utilizing optical coherence tomography angiography parameters in individuals with
monoclonal gammopathy. The study involved OCTA measurements using the Optovue AngioVue system, analyzing 44 eyes of 27 MG patients
and 62 eyes of 36 control subjects. Parameters such as superficial and deep retinal capillary vessel density (VD SVP and DVP) across the entire 3
× 3 mm macular and parafoveal region, foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, and central retinal thickness (CRT) were quantified using AngioAnalytics
software. Employing a multivariate regression model, the OCTA parameters were compared between the two groups, with adjustments for imaging
quality (SQ). Age .. Read More»
