Correlation analysis of chronic renal failure patients with dry eye

Abstract

AIM: To investigate the clinical characteristics and influencing factors of chronic renal failure(CRF)patients with dry eye, and to provide clinical reference. METHODS: Sixty-one cases(122 eyes)of patients with CRF(CRF group)and 61 cases(122 eyes)of healthy persons(control group)were carried out on Schirmer Ⅰ test(SⅠt), break-up time of tear film(BUT), corneal fluorescein staining(FL), test results of two groups were compared and related factors of dry eye in CRF patients were analyzed. RESULTS: The results of SⅠt and BUT in CRF group were lower than that in the control group(Pχ2=45.39, Pχ2=57.1, Pχ2= 24.34, PCONCLUSION: CRF patients with a decrease in tear film stability and tear secretion are susceptible population to dry eye, clinically should be paid attention to the treatment.
