Résumé

The observation of optical microcirculation gives us an extraordinary way to directly assess After the eligibility screening, 15 patients (23 eyes) were included in the study. OCT-A parameters were collected at established time-points: Before treatment (t0), at first hour (t1), at second hour (t2), at third hour (t3), and finally at the end of HD treatment (t4). Patients were finally shared in hypotensive group if they occurred in a hypotensive episode during subsequent month methods or no hypotensive group. The instrument software automatically segmented OCT-A scans into four en-face slabs: The superficial capillary plexus (SCP), the deep capillary plexus (DCP), the outer retinal plexus and the choriocapillaris plexus. In this study we focus on SCP, DCP plexuses. Overall, the majority of ophthalmic parameters remained unaffected and comparable at dialysis end; a significant reduction being observed at the end vs. starting of HD only for deep capillary plexus (DCP: Whole, fovea, and parafovea) and for central choroid thickness (CCT) ( Main achievement of our study was to measure, for the first time in literature, single parameters at different time-points of a HD session. As a result of this process we did not notice a brusque decreasing or increasing of OCT-A metrics but we can characterize the different effect of HD on the two distinct areas distinguishing ocular vessels: Retinal and choroidal circulation. As interesting sub-analysis, Hypotensive group showed for CCT a decreasing trend with a difference statistically significant respect to the group with no-hypotension maintaining a constant trend. In our opinion, these results suggest the role of autonomic system on vessel control in patients affected by uremia.

Methods UNASSIGNED
After the eligibility screening, 15 patients (23 eyes) were included in the study. OCT-A parameters were collected at established time-points: Before treatment (t0), at first hour (t1), at second hour (t2), at third hour (t3), and finally at the end of HD treatment (t4). Patients were finally shared in hypotensive group if they occurred in a hypotensive episode during subsequent month methods or no hypotensive group. The instrument software automatically segmented OCT-A scans into four en-face slabs: The superficial capillary plexus (SCP), the deep capillary plexus (DCP), the outer retinal plexus and the choriocapillaris plexus. In this study we focus on SCP, DCP plexuses.
Results UNASSIGNED
Overall, the majority of ophthalmic parameters remained unaffected and comparable at dialysis end; a significant reduction being observed at the end vs. starting of HD only for deep capillary plexus (DCP: Whole, fovea, and parafovea) and for central choroid thickness (CCT) (
Conclusion UNASSIGNED
Main achievement of our study was to measure, for the first time in literature, single parameters at different time-points of a HD session. As a result of this process we did not notice a brusque decreasing or increasing of OCT-A metrics but we can characterize the different effect of HD on the two distinct areas distinguishing ocular vessels: Retinal and choroidal circulation. As interesting sub-analysis, Hypotensive group showed for CCT a decreasing trend with a difference statistically significant respect to the group with no-hypotension maintaining a constant trend. In our opinion, these results suggest the role of autonomic system on vessel control in patients affected by uremia.
