ABSTRACT
Purpose:
Determine the incidence of some eye lesions in kidney transplant patients after one year at Military Hospital 103 and comment on related factors. Patients andMethods:
A cross-sectional study description of 111 kidney transplant patients (222 eyes) at Military Hospital 103. We assessed several eye lesions, including dry eyes, corneal conjunctival calcification, cataracts, and retinopathy.Results:
The rate of retinopathy was 84.7%, dry eye was 59.5%, cataract was 29.7%, and corneal conjunctival calcification was 24.8%, atrophy optic nerve was 9.9%, epiretinal membrane was 1.8%. Post-transplant influence factors associated with cataracts include the dose of prednisolone (OR= 1.6, p < 0.05) and post-transplant diabetes (OR=1.4, p < 0.05). The influence factor related to the atrophy of the optic nerve is systemic infection after transplantation (OR=2.4, p < 0.05).Conclusion:
Retinopathy accounted for the highest rate, followed by dry eye disease; cataracts ranked third; and finally, calcified corneal conjunctiva. Factors that affect cataracts are diabetes mellitus and prednisolone dose. Factors affecting optic nerve atrophy are infections after kidney transplantation.
