PURPOSE: To compare the plasma immune globulin and complement levels in different sorts of glaucoma to assess its association. METHODS: Array RESULTS: There was a significant difference in C4, IgA, IgG, and IgM between patients with high IOP and normal controls groups( < 0.01). TheC4 (0.27 ± 0.69 g/L), IgA (3.11 ± 1.04 g/L), IgG (12.07 ± 1.92 g/L) and IgM (1.17 ± 0.49 g/L) were higher( < 0.05) in the high IOP groups compared with the normal controls (C4:0.25 ± 0.07 g/L, IgA: 2.54 ± 1.07 g/L, IgG: 11.21 ± 2.22 g/L, IgM:0.99 ± 0.41 g/L). There was a significant difference in age, C3, IgA, IgG, and IgM among the normal control, APACG, CPACG, and POAG. The C3 level in the APACG group (1.14 ± 0.16 g/L) was higher than normal group (1.06 ± 0.18 g/L). The IgA level was lower(P < 0.05) in the normal group (2.54 ± 1.07 g/L) compared with APACG (3.16 ± 0.97 g/L) and POAG group (2.91 ± 1.11 g/L). The IgG level of normal controls (11.21 ± 2.22 g/L) was lower (P < 0.05) than APACG group (12.15 ± 2.02 g/L) and CPACG group (11.95 ± 2.28 g/L). The IgM level was lower(P < 0.05) in the normal group (0.99 ± 0.41 g/L) compared with the APACG (1.24 ± 0.66 g/L) and CPACG group (1.17 ± 0.45 g/L). CONCLUSIONS: The levels of the plasma expression of C3, IgA, IgG, IgM may be useful for discriminating the glaucoma patients and for assessing the progress of glaucoma in different sorts.
