Choroidal Microcirculatory Responses to Hemodialysis in Patients With Diabetic Nephropathy and Retinopathy.

Key Points

• Investigate how choroidal circulation changes during hemodialysis in patients with diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy.
• Measured choroidal circulation response during different hemodialysis phases.
• Analyzed volume-dependent flow pulsatility.
• Utilized LSFG-derived monitoring for noninvasive assessment.
• During the initiation phase, there are significant reductions in flow pulsatility.
• In the maintenance phase, the response is less pronounced, suggesting vascular adaptation.
• LSFG monitoring shows potential as a useful biomarker for these changes.
