Abstract

Study design: Comparative, cross-sectional study.
Purpose: To determine the prevalence of retinal changes in chronic kidney disease (CKD), and to compare it with patients of DM/HTN without renal disease.
Methods: A total of 100 cases(200 eyes) with CKD were recruited in group-1 and 100 cases(200 eyes) with DM/HTN without renal disease were taken as group-2. Comprehensive ocular examinations including fundoscopy and OCT were done for all patients.
Results: Retinal abnormalities were noted in 130 eyes(65%) in group 1 and 80 eyes (40%) in group-2(P<0.000). A positive correlation was found between stages of CKD and retinal changes(P=0.020), mean avg RNFL(P=0.002), and mean avg GCL thickness(P<0.000). Patients requiring dialysis were found to have retinal changes more frequently(P=0.036).
Conclusion: Retinal abnormalities are found to be associated strongly with CKD.
