Aim: Comparison of eye fundus changes in patients in whom malignant hypertension was diagnosed.
Material And Methods: 14 patients (6 F, 8 M) aged 24-54 years were examined. In all cases kidney disease was the cause of arterial hypertension. 11 patients underwent kidney transplantation (0.5-20 years before the study), 2 patients was hemodialysed, 1 received only pharmacological treatment.
Results: During the first examination in two patients IV grade of hypertensive retinopathy (K-W classification) was found, in the rest of the patients I/II or II grade with typical changes for malignant hypertension in the past (Elschnig's spots) was found. In control examinations (6 months-21 years) the persistence of the previously noticed changes was observed.
