Renal fluid overload diagnosed by retinal optical coherence tomography scanning

Abstract EN

Fluid overload is one of the major findings in patients with end-stage renal disease.

Common findings in fluid overload include shortness of breath, pedal edema, ascites, and peri- cardial effusion.

Rarely, vision loss can be associated with decompensated systemic fluid status.

In the following case, we report an unusual case of vision loss due to retinal edema as a result of fluid overload diagnosed and followed to resolution by optical coherence tomography testing.
