Soluble cytokine receptors are significantly upregulated in autoimmune uveitis. CD30+ T cells might contribute to the inflammatory process in granulomatous uveitis, particularly in VKH disease. Granulomatous uveitis is also characterized by significantly higher sTNFRs/TNF-α ratios than nongranulomatous uveitis.
