Abstract:
The effect of hemodialysis on intraocular pressure(IOP) was studied in 20 non-glaucomatous patients(40 eyes) with chronic renal failure. The IOP, body weight and systolic blood pressure were measured at pre- and post-hemodialysis and at every hour during 4 hours' hemodialysis period. IOP(Right: 13.4 +/- 2.2mmHg, Left: 13.9 +/- 2.3mmHg) was measured before hemodialysis. Following hemodialysis, blood pressure and body weight decreased significantly(P<0.05) and IOP increased significantly(Right: 14.2 +/- 2.5mmHg, Left: 14.8 +/- 2.6mmHg, P<0.05). However, there Was not statistical significance between increased IOP and the decreased body weight(Right r=0.05, Left r=-0.03) and systolic blood pressure(Right r=-0.05, Left r=0.23). This study shows that chronic renal failure patients may have a possibility for increased IOP after long period hemodialysis.
