  • Title: [The effect of total protein and albumin levels in serum on retinal detachment due to EPH-gestosis].
    Author: Kokot W, Raczyńska K, Mielnik J.
    Journal: Klin Oczna; 1998; 100(3):167-9. PubMed ID: 9814001.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the report is to describe a 31-year-old pregnant woman with EPH-gestosis presenting typical clinical features of bilateral retinal detachment. We noticed that it was associated with low degree of total protein and albumin in serum. Shortcoming protein balance was associated with adhibition of retinae. Attention is paid to the fact that elevation of retinal detachment responded to the treatment involving parenteral administration of albumin. In this case we achieved reattachment of retinae and regained full visual acuity.
