  • Title: Ocular complications in recipients of kidney transplants.
    Author: Blomdahl S, Calissendorff B, Magnusson G.
    Journal: Scand J Urol Nephrol Suppl; 1977; (42):195-7. PubMed ID: 356209.
    Abstract:
    104 renal transplant recipients have been examined regarding ocular complications. A high incidence of posterior subcapsular cataracts has been found, increasing with time after operation. Only 2 cases of open angle glaucoma were found, indicating a seemingly small risk for developing a corticosteroid-induced glaucoma in such patients. A high frequency of treatment-resistant herpes simplex keratitis, probably due to reduced corneal resistance, was found.
