Abstract
Blood pressure, funduscopic, electrocardiographic and urinary investigation were performed on 13 patients with essential hypertension. Their renal functions were examined by determinin GFR, RPFand PSP, and histological findings were obtained biopsy. by means of And the results were studied with the following conclusions: A) Significant correlation between systolic blood pressure and hypertensive alteration in the retina of the fundus oculi were observed. B) There was close relation betweenn blood pressure and RPF, and correlation between diastolic blood pressure and RPF (γ=-0.51). C) Relation was observed between the hypertensive alteration in the fundus oculi and RPFW D) In many cases, elevated blood pressure, systolic and diastolic, tended to aggravate renal vascular disorder. E) There was also tendency that with the progress of the hypertensive alteration in the fundus oculi, renal vascular disorder became aggravated. F) Relation could not be observed between functional and histological findings of the kidney. G) It was recognized through bioptic examination that in essential hypertension, renal vase cular disorder preceded other renal lesions.
