Abstract EN
Objective : to characterize the ocular and peri-ocular findings in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing haemodialysis at Prince Ali Bin Al- Hussein Military Hospital.
Methods : this is a descriptive study.
Data were collected from patients with chronic renal failure undergoing haemodialysis from June 2012 till January 2013.
The medical files were reviewed to report medical, surgical and ophthalmic history of all candidate patients.
All patients underwent full ophthalmic examination on day one of recruitment.
Results : Forty-four patients (87 eyes) were reported.
Mean age was 56.9 years (56.9 ± 12.5).
Male to female ratio was 2 : 1.
Aetiologies of chronic renal failure were: Hypertension (n = 17, 39 %), glomerulonephritis (n = 13, 30 %), and diabetes mellitus (n=10, 23 %).
Some other aetiologies were also found like : Small kidney (n = 4, 9 %), renal stones (n = 2, 5 %), polycystic kidney (n = 2, 5 %), familial (n = 2, 5 %) and analgesic nephropathy (n = 1, 2 %).
Ocular findings were seen in 75 eyes (86 %), including lid edema (n = 66, 76 %)), conjunctival congestion (n = 54, 62 %), cataract (n = 47, 54 %), and dry eye (n = 44, 51 %).
Conclusion : ocular and peri-ocular findings were frequent in chronic renal failure patients who were undergoing hemodialysis, which urges regular ophthalmic examination to detect and treat sight threatening complications early.
