[Fibrinolytic activity of the lacrimal fluid in disordered choroid circulation in patients with arterial hypertension].

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.
