Abstract
Purpose: Assessment of ocular lesions in end stage renal patients following a successful kidney transplantation. Patients and methods: This is a retrospective cross sectional observational study that included 60 eyes of 30 patients with chronic kidney disease which treated in its end stage by kidney transplant since 1 to 5 years before beginning of this study. Comprehensive oph-thalmological examination was done at ophthalmology department of Luxor university, in a period between March 2024 and March 2025. We evaluated the ocular complaints of the patients, ophth-almological examination findings, posttransplant duration, and the medications used. Ocular pathologies were classified as corneal, conjunctival, lens, vitreoretinal, and optic disc pathologies for the analysis. Results: The most common findings were dry eye, followed by cataract and vitreo-retinal pathologies. The most common vitreoretinal pathology was diabetic retinopathy, followed by hypertensive retinopathy. Conclusion: Ocular findings were seen in most of the kidney transplant recipients. Therefore, it is required that these patients undergo routine ocular screenings in order to provide early diagnosis and administrate treatment when needed.
