- Brief Summary
The E-FABP concentration in tears tended to be significantly lower in patients with SS than healthy control subjects. The E-FABP concentration in tears significantly correlated with the results of dry eye parameters. The E-FABP concentration in tears appears to be related to ocular surface epithelial damage and tear stability and may be a promising novel biomarker in the diagnosis of SS.
