Disorders associated with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) have been reported including cardiovascular, metabolic, and central nervous system diseases.
Since chronic HCV infections may be curable, their identification as causal contributors to cardiovascular risk could offer new perspectives in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
The aim of this study is to investigate the association between HCV and aortic arch calcification (AAC) and corneal and conjunctival calcification (CCC) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients; further, we assessed the correlation of CCC with vascular calcification.
A total of 100 patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) in our hospital were included in this study.
Patients underwent a complete ocular examination including intraocular pressure, and CCC was looked for by slit lamp and fundoscopy.
CCC was graded according to modified Porter and Crombie classification system described by Tokuyama et al.
Helical computerized tomographic chest examination was used to evaluate the grading of AAC.
Demographic, hematological, biochemical, and dialysis-related data were obtained.
There was significant difference between seropositive (n = 51) and seronegative patients (n = 49) regarding grading of AAC and CCC (P < 0.001).
In addition, CCC grading positively correlated with AAC.
Our results suggest that patients undergoing HD infected with the HCV have high degree of CCC, AAC, and mineral metabolism disorder.
The strong correlation between CCC and AAC indicates that CCC evaluation is an easy, fast, non-invasive method, and might be used as an indirect indicator to detect vascular calcification in patients undergoing MHD.
