[Haemodynamic changes and clinic significance in primary pigmentary degeneration of retina].
In comparison with 40 healthy controls, the blood viscosity and erythrocystic agglutination index were predominantly higher in 44 cases with primary pigmentary degeneration. It is believed that the changes mentioned above may result in general and local circulatory disturbance, leading the tissue to ischeia, anoxia and a series of other pathological changes; and exacerbating the functional damage of retina. The author suggests that primary pigmentary degeneration of retina may be treated with the drugs which can lower the blood viscosity, the concentration of blood cholesterol and lipid, and increase blood-dynamics.
