Abstract

Objective: To assess retinal damage in diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing intermittent hemodialysis. Subjects and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 23 diabetic patients undergoing periodic dialysis at the Nephrology and Dialysis Center, Bạch Mai Hospital, and the Hemodialysis Department of Phúc Yên Regional General Hospital. Results: - A total of 36 eyes exhibited diabetic retinal damage, including non-proliferative and proliferative stages. - The average central retinal thickness was 265.6 ± 125.8 µm. - The duration of dialysis was not associated with diabetic retinal disease. - HbA1C and glucose levels were associated with diabetic retinopathy (p < 0.05), while triglycerides and creatinine levels were not associated with diabetic retinal disease (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The findings of this study emphasize the importance of monitoring retinal health in diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing intermittent dialysis, particularly in managing HbA1C and glucose levels.
