[Changes in intraocular pressure during dialysis]

    Summary

    Dialysis can cause significant intraocular pressure (IOP) rise in patients with glaucoma. Regular ocular examinations are recommended for all dialysis patients to monitor and manage potential IOP fluctuations.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Nephrology
    • Internal Medicine

    Context:

    • Dialysis for end-stage renal disease can lead to physiological changes.
    • Intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations during dialysis are not fully understood.
    • Glaucoma patients may be at higher risk for adverse ocular events during treatment.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the effect of dialysis on intraocular pressure (IOP).
    • To identify risk factors for IOP changes during dialysis.
    • To evaluate the management of acute IOP rise in a dialysis patient with glaucoma.

    Summary:

    • A study of 29 dialysis patients revealed a significant IOP rise in 28 subjects post-dialysis.
    • One patient with a history of angular glaucoma experienced a dramatic IOP increase (45 mmHg) requiring laser iridectomy.
    • Post-dialysis blood pressure and body weight decreased significantly in all patients.
    • The exact cause of IOP rise remains unclear, possibly related to osmolality imbalances between blood and aqueous humor.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the need for comprehensive ocular assessments in dialysis patients.
    • Suggests proactive ocular management, including medication, during dialysis treatment.
    • Emphasizes the potential link between dialysis-induced fluid shifts and glaucoma exacerbation.
