[Local fibrinolytic activity of the lacrimal fluid in patients with arterial hypertension]. / Issledovanie lokal'noi fibrinoliticheskoi aktivnosti sleznoi zhidkosti u bol'nykh arterial'noi gipertoniei.

Lacrimal fluid local fibrinolytic activity was measured in 101 patients with different variants of arterial hypertension. The studied parameter was found reduced in patients developing hypertensive retinopathy on the respective eye. A correlation was revealed between progress of hypertensive changes in the fundus oculi and reduction of lacrimal fluid local fibrinolytic activity. The results indicate that reduction of this parameter may be regarded as one of the prerequisites for the development of hypertensive retinopathy.

Fluorescent angiographic examination of the choroid and retinal circulation in 43 patients with arterial hypertension of different origin without signs of hypertensive retinopathy with low and normal values of the fibrinolytic activity of the lacrimal fluid (FALF) revealed a correlation between disorders of the choroid circulation (ischemic zones, delayed time of contrast staining of the choroid) and reduction of FALF. The results indicate that a reduction of FALF may be regarded as a prerequisite for the development of circulatory disorders in the choroid.
