Leber's retinitis

Lembert's retinitis is a rare genetic disease characterized by degenerative processes in the retina and accompanying symptoms of damage to the cerebral cortex. The disease is spread hereditarily from parents to children, so carriers of the rR-LH genotype have a chance to inherit only the pathology. It manifests itself as a pathological growth of degenerated layers of the retina (mites) with a complete rupture of the membrane of the retinal pigment epithelium. There are also cases of severe dystrophy in the central zone. Detachment of photoreceptor cells is often accompanied by severe compression of adjacent areas of the optic bundle nerve. Congenital LPTD detachments are treated with phenytoin, if its prescription is approved by the attending physician. The most important task for the patient is to adhere to a special low-salt diet. To maintain the composition of electrolytes in the blood, patients are recommended to consume large amounts of carbohydrates and avoid proteins with minerals. Small portions of the diet with long breaks between meals are recommended. Patients are strictly prohibited
