Bilateral exudative retinal detachment in a patient with end-stage renal disease — a case report

Abstract

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is one of the most severe chronic kidney diseases occurring with a frequency of 0.1% in the general population. Patients with ESRD are more at risk of ocular complications, therefore cooperation between a nephrologist and an ophthalmologist is recommended. The most common complaints associated with the eye include the conjunctival chemosis, keratopathy, macular edema, optic neuropathy, elevated intraocular pressure and exudative retinal detachment. In this article, a case report of bilateral exudative retinal detachment in patients with the end-stage renal disease is presented.
