Abstract EN

We congratulate Taskapili et al.

for their study entitled “The Effects of Hemodialysis on Tear Osmolarity” [1].

The authors investigated the effects of hemodialysis (HD) on tear osmolarity (TO) and evaluated the correlation between blood biochemical tests and TO in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD).

In this study, they evaluated TO of patients with ESRD one minute before the beginning of HD and 30 minutes after the end of HD.

The authors established that HD effectively decreases TO to normal values and corrects the volume and composition of the ocular fluid transiently.

They observed tear hyperosmolarity before HD and a significant reduction to normal levels after HD.
