Keratic precipitate (KP) is an inflammatory cellular deposit seen on corneal endothelium. Acute KPs are white and round in shape whereas old KPs are faded and irregular in shape. Mutton-fat KPs are large in shape and are greasy-white in color and are formed from macrophages and epithelioid cells. They are indicative of inflammatory disease. [1]

Arlt's triangle is a distribution pattern of mutton-fat keratic precipitates, which deposit as an inverted triangle on the central to inferior cornea , forming a wedge-shaped region on the inferior corneal endothelium.

Keratic Precipitates Cellular deposits on the corneal endothelium. Acute, fresh KPs tend to be white and round, while old KPs are usually irregular, faded and pigmented.

Keratic precipitates are made of inflammatory cells that gather on the corneal endothelium. They show up when the eye fights off an infection inside. Spotting these signs early helps doctors treat eye problems faster.

2021年5月19日 · The morphology of keratic precipitates (KPs) may yield important diagnostic clues. However, KPs have not been described in a standardized manner and the traditional classification of granulomatous or non-granulomatous KPs is not helpful in differentiating infectious from noninfectious uveitis.

2023年6月5日 · Keratic precipitates are collections of inflammatory cells that can be seen on slit lamp examination. There are several different types of keratic precipitates, each with its own characteristic appearance and associations.

In this prospective study "keratic precipitates" (KP) in different types of uveitis were examined in different stages of the disease process and the endothelial changes occurring in the vicinity of the KP were evaluated in comparison with the endothelium of the uninvolved eye.

Purpose : Keratic precipitates (KPs) are a feature of ocular inflammation. KP morphology has been described as a vital diagnostic clue for different forms of inflammatory disease, yet there is no agreed morphology classification system.

Keratic precipitates (KPs) are characteristic features in various intraocular inflammations. They are cellular ag-gregates on the corneal endothelium, typically composed of epithelioid cells, lymphocytes, and polymorphonuclear cells.1.

2008年7月25日 · Keratic precipitates (KPs) are corneal endothelial deposits that are frequently observed in association with anterior segment inflammation. 1 These precipitates are formed by the aggregation of...
