Abnormal Ocular Findings in Chronic Renal Failure Patients on Hemodialysis
Aml Mahmoud Ahmed El-Azab;
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background: chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem and diabetes is a leading cause for it. Those patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are generally treated using hemodialysis (HD). HD causes numerous metabolic changes which in turn induce osmotic changes in blood and extracellular fluids including the aqueous and vitreous humor, so there are many ocular abnormalities in ESRD patients either due to common pathophysiological mechanisms and risk factors between eye and kidney diseases or due to hemodialysis itself. Aim of the Work: the aim of this study is to evaluate ocular findings in CKD patients on hemodialysis, including the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP), corneal, conjunctival, tear film changes, lens and fundus changes. is
