Fig. 137.—Shows a section through the coats of the eye in a case of albumin- uric retinitis. In the retina there are albuminous coagula which produce the white patches seen clinically. A, Sclerotic; B, choroid; C, retina; D, albuminous coagulum. usually bad, the patients dying within two years of the onset of the ocular symptoms. This is not the case, how- ever, when the retinitis is associated with the albuminuria of pregnancy or in the rare cases when it occurs in con- nection with acute nephritis, which are due to toxemia and not to sclerosis. In the toxic cases the retinal changes may clear up entirely. The changes in the retinal vessels associated with chronic nephritis are described under vascular sclerosis see page 669. The exudate which occurs is highly albuminous and may be subretinal or intraretinal. When the exudate is sub-.
