Abstract
Objective: To compare the Spectral-Domain Optic Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) findings of chronic renal failure (CRF) and renal transplant (RTx) patients.
Methods: Sixty eyes of thirty patients with CRF and 60 eyes of thirty RTx patients were enrolled in the study. A thorough ophthalmologic examination was applied to each patient, including the following parameters: best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), anterior and posterior segment examination, central corneal thickness (CCT), retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT), foveal thickness (FT), and choroid thickness (ChT) measurements.
Results: Distribution of the primary disease, gender and the median duration of RTx and CRF (18 and 36 months respectively, p=0.390) were similar between the groups, and the difference was not significant. The mean age of patients in the CRF group was statistically higher than that of the RTx group (57.5±10.6 and 44.4±11.9 years respectively, p
