Retinal detachment in renal insufficiency a report of 3 cases.
Three cases of retinal detachment associated with renal insufficiency are presented. The authors feel that dilutional hyponatremia and hypervolemia were not significant in the genesis of the detachments and that control of the blood pressure was the key factor in their cure. The importance of hypertensive retinochoroidopathy in the pathogenesis of the detachment is emphasized.
