Abstract

Objectives: To compare calcified corneal lesions before and after one year of kidney transplantation and their relationship with factors. Objects and methods: Cross-sectional description of 92 patients (184 eyes) who received a kidney transplant one year from 01/2021 to 12/2022 at 103 Military Hospit01, they were evaluated the calcification cornea lesion scoring according to the Porter and Crombie classification. Results: There were 86 eyes (46,7%) with corneal calcification; the right eye was 44 (47.8%), and the left was 42 before the kidney transplant (45.7%). One year after the transplant, the number of eyes with calcified conjunctival conjunctiva decreased to 29 in the right (31.5%) and in the left eye to 26 eyes (28.3%). The multivariate evaluation showed that the duration of hemodialysis before kidney transplant longer 12 months is a factor significantly related calcified corneal lesions (OR = 9.6 (p < 0.001). For post-transplant factors, the relationship was not significantly. Conclusion: Calcified corneal lesions decreased significantly after kidney transplantation in comparison with theirs before. The hemodialysis period longer than 12 months is the risk of calcium deposition in the conjunctiva-cornea of hemodialysis patients.
