THE ROLE OF C-REACTIVE PROTEIN IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF VISUAL VASCULAR DISEASES IN PATIENTS WITH ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION

Recently, the subject of numerous studies are various changes occurring in the organs of vision, which, in turn, are one of the important problems of ophthalmology. According to Konstantinidis L, (2016) and Denisov E.V. et al. (2018) all eye pathology, with the exception of injuries and local infections, is a manifestation of systemic diseases. At the same time, damage to blood vessels and retinal tissue can be caused by cardiovascular diseases, endocrine disorders, blood diseases, inflammatory and degenerative processes in the body. Most researchers consider retinal vessels to be a unique object for studying systemic microcirculation. Fundus changes often reflect vascular changes in other organs and provide information about risk factors for vascular disease in the heart, brain, kidneys, and eye.
