(H36*) Retinal disorders in diseases classified elsewhere

Retinal disorders in diseases classified elsewhere occur when an underlying medical condition, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or an autoimmune disorder, affects the retina, resulting in vision impairment or blindness. in some cases, the underlying condition itself is the cause of the retinal disorder, while in other cases, the retinal disorder is a complication of the underlying condition.

Retinal disorders in diseases classified elsewhere can be caused by a variety of underlying conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, and vascular diseases. these conditions can cause damage to the retinal blood vessels, leading to decreased blood supply to the retina, resulting in retinal ischemia, retinal edema, and retinal detachment. in some cases, the underlying condition can also cause inflammation of the retina, which can further damage the retinal tissue and lead to vision loss.
