| Abstract | PURPOSE: We evaluated the effect of hemodialysis on the choroidal thickness in patients with and without diabetes who have end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). METHODS: Forty-one patients with ESKD were recruited and divided into two groups: those with ESKD due to diabetic nephropathy (DM group, 37 eyes of 20 patients) and those with nondiabetic ESKD (NDM group, 40 eyes of 21 patients). Using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), the subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT) was measured before and after hemodialysis, and the change ratio (ΔSCT [%]) was calculated. RESULTS: The SCT decreased in all eyes after hemodialysis. The ΔSCT value in the DM group (-12.6 ± 2.7%) was significantly (P = 0.00027) larger than that in the NDM group (-6.9 ± 2.3%). Moreover, the ΔSCT per body fluid removal (BFR [L]) in the DM group was significantly (P = 0.013) greater than in the NDM group. In the DM group, the mean ΔSCT in the eyes treated with panretinal photocoagulation (PRP; n = 19) was significantly (P = 0.035) larger than that in eyes not treated with PRP (n = 18). The relationship between the ΔSCT and BFR was not significant (R² = 0.0038, P = 0.80) in the DM group but was significant (R² = 0.54, P = 0.00013) in the NDM group. CONCLUSIONS: The current results may reflect that systemic fluid accumulation has a greater effect on the diabetic choroid, probably due to damage to the choroidal vasculature, in patients with ESKD. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
