  • Title: Ocular complications in renal transplant recipients.
    Author: Oberman AE, Chatterjee SN.
    Journal: West J Med; 1975 Sep; 123(3):184-7. PubMed ID: 169634.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-five patients were examined for ocular complaints following renal transplantation. Besides the expected complications of posterior subcapsular cataract and cytomegalovirus retinitis, other findings-such as focal depigmentation of the retinal pigment epithelium, a lack of hypertensive retinopathy, elevated intraocular tensions, microaneurysms, preretinal wrinkling, serous detachments of the retina, hemorrhages and exudates-were observed.A laboratory clue to the onset of cytomegalovirus retinitis was a rapid rise in cytomegalovirus (CMV) antibody titer and a positive CMV plaque count in tissue culture.
