Improvement in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy in Renal Transplant Recipients Following Hemodialysis: Case Report

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: This case report describes an elderly man experienced recurrent central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) for several years following a kidney transplant. Despite various treatments, his subretinal fluid was unexpectedly absorbed following hemodialysis after the loss of graft kidney function. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measures were taken. The patient has been followed for approximately 10 years. CONCLUSION: Hemodialysis should be considered early if there is persistent and refractory serous retinal detachment despite reducing or discontinuing glucocorticoid therapy and in the presence of decreased glomerular filtration rate.
