Visual Acuity, Intraocular Pressure, and Macular Thickness in Patients Undergoing Dialysis
Monawar Muhsin Jabr , Hussain S. Hasan , Hind Ahmed Mahdi
Abstract
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health problem over all the world. CKD may also be defined by the presence of kidney
damage or a reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which is the best overall indicator or index of kidney function. CKD patients are usually
treated using kidney dialysis (hemodialysis) that uses a blood filtration mechanism (HD). Several metabolic parameters, such as blood urea, sodium,
potassium, and glucose levels, can alter during HD. Osmotic alterations in blood, aqueous and vitreous humor, and other extracellular fluids arise
from these fluctuations. That also can affect visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), and retinal thickness
