title: [Eye fundus pathology in chronic terminal kidney failure].
abstract: On 75 patients with chronic renal insufficiency the relations between renal hypertension due to volume expansion and findings of the fundus of the eye were investigated. In compensated renal insufficiency in 20 of 23 patients a hypertension appeared, hypertensively conditioned changes of the fundus were observed only in about one third of the cases. When the functional disturbances progressed into the stage of the chronic terminal renale insufficiency on the other hand in 27 of 38 patients retina findings conditioned by hypertension were stated. Among 38 haemodialysis patients by regulation of the fluid balance 11 times a normal fundus and 15 times an improvement of the findings of the fundus of the eye could be revealed. In 13 patients the findings of the fundus generally improved after successful renal transplantation. Also our examinations call the usual stage subdivisions after Thiel and Keith and co-workers, respectively, in question.
