Patients with abnormal renal function may experience eye discomfort, e.g., patients with renal insufficiency may have eyelid edema, and some patients with renal hypertension may also have retinopathy. However, not all eye problems are related to kidneys, such as tear duct obstruction and eye trauma.
1. Renal insufficiency: when patients with renal insufficiency, because of the reduced filtration capacity of the kidneys, resulting in impaired water metabolism in the body, leading to more water can not be discharged in a timely manner, the patient may have eyelid edema, may also be accompanied by lower limb edema and other discomforts.
2. Renal hypertension: patients with renal hypertension may develop hypertensive retinopathy, hypertensive retinal vascular sclerosis and other eye problems due to the acute elevation of blood pressure.
However, not all eye problems are related to kidney, such as tear duct obstruction, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, etc., which are mostly related to eye trauma and congenital development, but not related to kidney.
Patients with significant eye discomfort are advised to seek prompt medical attention to assess their condition and follow medical advice.
