PG - 6534-41 LID - 10.1167/iovs.15-16719 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: We evaluated the effect of hemodialysis on the choroidal thickness in patients with and without diabetes who have end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). METHODS: Forty-one patients with ESKD were recruited and divided into two groups: those with ESKD due to diabetic nephropathy (DM group, 37 eyes of 20 patients) and those with nondiabetic ESKD (NDM group, 40 eyes of 21 patients). Using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), the subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT) was measured before and after hemodialysis, and the change ratio (DeltaSCT [%]) was calculated. RESULTS: The SCT decreased in all eyes after hemodialysis. The DeltaSCT value in the DM group (-12.6 +/- 2.7%) was significantly (P = 0.00027) larger than that in the NDM group (-6.9 +/- 2.3%). Moreover, the DeltaSCT per body fluid removal (BFR [L]) in the DM group was significantly (P = 0.013) greater than in the NDM group. In the DM group, the mean DeltaSCT in the eyes treated with panretinal photocoagulation (PRP; n = 19) was significantly (P = 0.035) larger than that in eyes not treated with PRP (n = 18). The relationship between the DeltaSCT and BFR was not significant (R(2) = 0.0038, P = 0.80) in the DM group but was significant (R(2) = 0.54, P = 0.00013) in the NDM group. CONCLUSIONS: The current results may reflect that systemic fluid accumulation has a greater effect on the diabetic choroid, probably due to damage to the choroidal vasculature, in patients with ESKD.
