Trial summary

We clinically observed that some hemodialysis patients had corneal epithelial dryness, shedding, edema, and persistent epithelial nonunion after ocular surgery, which seriously affected the effect of surgery, and it is necessary to study the ocular surface characteristics of hemodialysis patients.

About this study

We clinically observed that some hemodialysis patients had corneal epithelial dryness, shedding, edema, and persistent epithelial nonunion after ocular surgery, which seriously affected the effect of surgery, and it is necessary to study the ocular surface characteristics of hemodialysis patients. In this study, we examined the ocular surface and analyzed and investigated the characteristics of the ocular surface in hemodialysis patients to provide a basis for ocular surface intervention or treatment in hemodialysis patients before ocular surgery in clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

This study is a clinical case-control study. A total of 36 hemodialysis patients and 36 normal subjects were randomly selected from the Nephrology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University .All the subjects in the hemodialysis group (n = 36, 72 eyes) and the normal group (n = 36, 72 eyes) were investigated with the OSDI scale, and then bilateral ocular surface examinations were performed with Keratograph5M eye surface comprehensive analyzer. Non-invasive tear meniscus height (NITMH), first tear film break-up time (FTBUT), average tear film break-up time (ATBUT), dry eye severity grade, tear film lipid layer analysis (distribution and color), tear film lipid layer thickness grade, meibomian gland opening blocking site, meibomian gland opening blocking analysis, meibomian gland opening secretion oil character score, eye redness index analysis (conjunctiva, ciliary shape), and meibomian gland absence area score were recorded.

    Maximum and minimum of average tear film break-up time in Seconds,higher scores mean a better outcome.

    Measured: 1year

  4. dry eye severity grade

    Maximum and minimum of dry eye severity grade,higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Measured: 1year

  5. tear film lipid layer analysis (distribution and color)

    Maximum and minimum of tear film lipid layer analysis (distribution and color),higher scores mean a better outcome.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemodialysis and Ocular Surface Disease, run by XiaoYong Liu at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Non-invasive tear meniscus height (time frame: 1year). The study lists 11 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Apr 2022.
