Pathogenesis of lesions in late age-related macular disease
Abstract
Purpose To review the evidence that exists concerning the pathogenesis of lesions in late age-related macular disease (AMD).Design Review of the literature.Methods A review of both experimental evidence and clinical observations that address these problems.Results There is good evidence that choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is due to a change in the balance of growth factors derived from the retinal pigment epithelial basolateral plasma membrane domain (retinal pigment epithelium). Retinal angiomatous proliferation may also have a similar pathogenesis involving the apical domain. Detachment of the retinal pigment epithelium is likely to be a consequence of increased resistance of the Bruch membrane to water flow due to deposition of lipids. Geographic atrophy is preceded by accumulation of autofluorescent material in the retinal pigment epithelium and possible causal relationships between the two have been demonstrated.Conclusion There is increasing understanding concerning the sequence of events that lead to those lesions causing loss of central vision in AMD. Therapeutic approaches that address the underlying mechanisms are more likely to succeed than current treatment options. Such an approach has already been initiated in the management of choroidal neovascularization.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
