Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to explore the correlation between the extent of fundus damage and the severity strategies for chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods: We collected data from 118 CKD patients, including general information, renal function indicators, and fundoscopic examination results. The stages of CKD and degrees of fundus lesions were graded. SPSS 25.0 software facilitated the analysis of correlations using Kendall's tau-b correlation analysis and ordinal regression analysis.
Results: Statistically significant differences were observed among multiple CKD stages in the distribution of age, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, hemoglobin, total cholesterol, homocysteine, cystatin C, serum creatinine, blood urea, eGFR, 24-hour urine protein, urine microalbumin, urine microalbumin/urine creatinine, and blood β2 microglobulin, complement C3. Notably, the levels of cytokeratin 19 fragment and transforming growth factor β significantly increased in all CKD stages. Kendall's tau-b correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between CKD stage and fundus lesion grade. Ordinal regression analysis indicated that sex differences, total cholesterol levels, and hemoglobin levels were significant predictors of fundus lesion risk. Compared with patients at stage 5 CKD, the risk of fundus damage significantly lower in patients in stage 2 and stage 3, further demonstrating a positive correlation between renal function deterioration and increased risk of fundus damage.
Conclusions: Routine fundus screening and early intervention for fundus lesions are vital for assessing CKD deterioration, providing new directions for future related research.
期刊介绍:
This journal comprises both clinical and basic studies at the interface of nephrology, hypertension and cardiovascular research. The topics to be covered include the structural organization and biochemistry of the normal and diseased kidney, the molecular biology of transporters, the physiology and pathophysiology of glomerular filtration and tubular transport, endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell function and blood pressure control, as well as water, electrolyte and mineral metabolism. Also discussed are the (patho)physiology and (patho) biochemistry of renal hormones, the molecular biology, genetics and clinical course of renal disease and hypertension, the renal elimination, action and clinical use of drugs, as well as dialysis and transplantation. Featuring peer-reviewed original papers, editorials translating basic science into patient-oriented research and disease, in depth reviews, and regular special topic sections, ''Kidney & Blood Pressure Research'' is an important source of information for researchers in nephrology and cardiovascular medicine.
