Serum levels of triamcinolone acetonide after intravitreal injection.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To evaluate serum levels of triamcinolone acetonide after intravitreal high-dose injection. DESIGN:Prospective, interventional case series study. METHODS:For 20 consecutive patients, venous blood samples were taken before and 13 +/- 19 days (range 4 to 92) after an intravitreal injection of 20 to 25 mg triamcinolone acetonide as treatment of edematous macular diseases. RESULTS:Serum levels of triamcinolone acetonide did not differ significantly (P =.174; t test for paired matches) preoperatively (0 microg/l) and postoperatively (0.065 microg/l +/- 0.21 microg/l). In 18 eyes (90%), triamcinolone acetonide could not be detected in serum samples. For two patients (10%), serum samples taken 5 days and 7 days after the injection, respectively, contained 0.5 microg/l triamcinolone acetonide and 0.8 microg/l triamcinolone acetonide, respectively. CONCLUSION:After an intravitreal high-dose injection of 20 to 25 mg triamcinolone acetonide, triamcinolone acetonide is not, or only marginally, detectable in serum samples obtained within 4 to 92 days after the injection.
