  • Title: Conjunctival and corneal changes in chronic renal failure patients treated with maintenance hemodialysis.
    Author: Pahor D, Hojs R, Gracner B.
    Journal: Ophthalmologica; 1995; 209(1):14-6. PubMed ID: 7715921.
    Abstract:
    Conjunctival and corneal depositions of calcium salts are common complications in hemodialysis (HD) patients. We examined 14 HD patients; in 11 (79%), typical conjunctival and corneal calcifications were found. Patients with calcifications were older than those without. Patients treated longer with HD were found to have a higher grade of calcifications. We did not find the highest grade of calcifications in our patients. Serum calcium, phosphate, product of calcium and phosphate and parathyroid hormone concentration did not differ in patients with or without calcifications.
