Patient #19, on the other hand, had systemic hypertension, and although hypertensive retinopathy was not apparent, intermittent blood pressure peaks occurred during his hospital stay and there was a likely fragile blood-retinal barrier due to systemic inflammation, as reflected by elevated inflammatory biomarkers on admission (CRP: 6.8 mg/dL; ferritin: 1774 ng/mL) (Table 2). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is Hypertension.
