Clinical Anterior Segment and Ocular Surface Findings Across Renal Replacement Modalities: Associations with CKD-Related Factors, Mineral Metabolism and Activin A.
Key takeaways
This study found that people on dialysis had more eye surface problems than those with normal kidneys, and these issues were linked to mineral imbalances and high activin A levels. Because it is observational, it shows a link—not proof that fixing mineral levels will fix the eye problems.
