The potential immunomodulatory effects of the statins in uveitis

The aim of this study was to delineate the patterns of cytokine expression which occur in various forms of immune-mediated uveitis in order to better understand their origins. Further, the study investigated the potential immunomodulatory role of the group of compounds known as the statins as adjunctive or steroid-sparing therapy in uveitis. The data recorded provides evidence for the potential of statins in the treatment of uveitis as a steroid-sparing monotherapy or as part of combination therapy.
