Abstract
The eyes of 62 patients who had received allogenic renal transplants were examined for eye disease: 36 had steroid induced cataract, 6 had ocular hypertension and 12 showed arteriosclerotic changes in their fundi relating to their previous hypertension. There was no significant difference in HLA type in patients who developed cataract and those who did not. Of the 6 patients, with ocular hypertension, 83.3% had HLA B12 in common. None of the patients had cytomegalic retinitis.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
