Anterior chamber depth during hemodialysis

چکیده
BACKGROUND Exacerbation of chronic glaucoma or acute glaucoma is occasionally observed in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) because of anterior chamber depth changes during this therapy. PURPOSE To evaluate anterior chamber depth and axial length in patients during HD sessions. METHODS A total of 67 eyes of 35 patients were prospectively enrolled. Axial length and anterior chamber depth were measured using ultrasonic biometry, and these measures were evaluated at three different times during HD sessions. Body weight and blood pressure pre- and post-HD were also measured. RESULTS There was no difference in the axial length between the three measurements (P = 0.241). We observed a significantly decreased anterior chamber depth (P = 0.002) during HD sessions. CONCLUSION Our results support the idea that there is a change in anterior chamber depth in HD sessions.

Effects of hemodialysis on corneal and anterior chamber morphometry and intraocular pressure in patients with end-stage renal disease.
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of hemodialysis (HD) on corneal and anterior chamber morphometry, as well as intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with end-stage renal disease. METHODS Fifty right eyes were examined 30 minutes before and after HD. IOP was measured with a Goldmann applanation tonometer, and Ehlers' formula was used to calculate the corrected IOP values. The central corneal th...

Background The relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) changes and hemodialysis has been evaluated for several decades. However, no report on an IOP rise in uveitis patients during hemodialysis has been previously documented. This report describes the case of an uveitis patient with repetitive IOP spikes associated with severe ocular pain during hemodialysis sessions, which resolved aft...

PURPOSE Prior studies in humans measured time constants of biometric accommodative changes as a function of amplitude, and prior studies in monkeys used slit lamp videography to analyze dynamic lenticular accommodative movements. Neither of these studies related biometric changes to refractive changes. We wished to develop and test methodology to begin to test the hypothesis that ocular biometr...
