  • Title: Ocular complications in renal allograft recipients.
    Author: Das T, Gupta A, Sakhuja V, Gupta KL, Minz M, Chugh KS.
    Journal: Nephrol Dial Transplant; 1991; 6(9):649-55. PubMed ID: 1745389.
    Abstract:
    Ocular complications in renal allograft recipients are a significant cause of morbidity. Of 80 renal transplant recipients, 42 (52.5%) developed ocular complications. These included posterior subcapsular cataract in 22 patients (27.5%), opportunistic ocular infections by CMV, cryptococcus, mucormycosis, herpes simplex and herpes zoster in five (6.25%), steroid-induced raised intraocular pressure in four (5%) and primary disease-related vascular complications in ten (12.5%). Our findings highlight the importance of regular ocular examination of all allograft recipients in the post-transplant period.
