In fact, in addition to easy sad brain injury, hypertension patients is easily formulated kidney injury. Early just because of fast development, and hidden, often there is no outstanding performance, so it's easy to be ignored. Wait to have the feeling to go to the hospital inspection, often have been developed in middle-late, more serious.
Ms, 48 years old, too fat. Type 2 diabetes for many years, unstable blood glucose, blood pressure is high low, irregular medication. Physical examination findings: retinal arteriolar moderate stenosis, belongs to the fundus change Ⅱ level high blood pressure. Serum creatinine and 24 hour albumin increased, belongs to the diabetic nephropathy Ⅱ period.
Why do fundus artery damage
Early hypertension damage to organs, main performance for different levels of small artery damage. Eye is one of the most densely populated small artery distribution organs, so fundus is easy to "hurt". In addition, the diabetes is one of the factors of patients with retinal vascular damage. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common microvascular complications, the incidence of a disease related to such factors as the history of diabetes and blood sugar control level. If blood glucose control is not good, more than 10 years history, more than half of the patients will have varying degrees of retinopathy, and diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading cause of blindness in patients with diabetes.
Check is not complicated. Regular eye exams can judge the disease, and thus presumably other organs small artery lesion severity.
According to the damage from light to heavy, fundus changes were divided into 4 we usually have high blood pressure. The higher the level, the heavier damage, the patient's overall condition is poorer. Ⅳ fundus changes in patients, the survival time is generally more than 5 years.
