Abstract
The plasmacortisol-levels of 27 patients suffering from glaucoma were compared with those of 156 healthy persons. There was no difference between the two groups compared. In addition, a diurnal inversion of the plasmacortisol-level in patients suffering from glaucoma as reported in the literature was not found.
Zusammenfassung
Bei 27 Glaukompatienten verglichen wir die in Tagesprofilen gemessenen Plasmacortisolspiegel mit denen von 156 klinisch Gesunden. Zu keinem Tageszeitpunkt unterschieden sich die gemessenen Plasmacortisolwerte der beiden Vergleichsgruppen signifikant voneinander. Eine entgegengesetzt verlaufende Tagesrhythmik von Plasmacortisol bei Glaukomkranken konnte nicht nachgewiesen werden.
