Effects of Hemodialysis on Intraocular Pressure and Ocular Perfusion Pressure

Effects of Hemodialysis on Intraocular Pressure and Ocular Perfusion Pressure

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and reduced ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) related to hemodialysis (HD) are risk factors for the development and progression of glaucoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of HD on IOP and OPP in our patients. This was a cross-sectional, descriptiv...

Description
Summary:Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and reduced ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) related to hemodialysis (HD) are risk factors for the development and progression of glaucoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of HD on IOP and OPP in our patients. This was a cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study conducted between January 2 and February 5, 2024, in the HD and ophthalmology departments of the Heinrich Lübke Regional Hospital in Diourbel. The IOP of both eyes was measured one hour before the start of the HD session and within 30 minutes after the end of the session, by the same ophthalmologist, for all included patients, using a Goldmann applanation tonometer. OPP were calculated and other socio-demographic data collected. Fifty-eight eyes from 29 chronic HD patients were included. The mean age of the patients was 47.58±12.94 years, with a predominance of women (17 women or 58.6%; sex ratio 0.71). In the left eye, mean IOP increased significantly from 12.21±2.96 mmHg before the HD session to 14.10±4.27 mmHg at the end of the session (p=0.04). For the right eye, the IOP also increased with a strong tendency to significance from 12.97±3.79 mmHg before the HD session to 15.03±5.23 mmHg at the end of the session (p=0.05). OPP did not change significantly after the HD session. The HD session significantly increased IOP with no significant change in OPP.
