Hemodialysis-Induced Alterations in Macular Thickness Measured by Optical Coherence Tomography in Diabetic Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease

<i>Background/Aims:</i> To evaluate changes in macular thickness measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) during a hemodialysis (HD) session in diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease. <i>Methods:</i> 72 eyes of 36 diabetic patients with and without macular edema were evaluated before and immediately after an HD session. Average and maximum macular thicknesses in the central disk (6 mm in diameter) and total...
