Ocular complications in renal transplant recipients. 1977

C R Pavlin, and G A deVeber, and G T Cook, and L D Chisholm

The occurrence of ocular complications among 62 recipients of functioning renal transplants was reviewed 6 months to 7 1/2 years after transplantation. Posterior subcapsular cataracts were found in 29 (46.7%). A positive correlation was found between the development of cataracts and the total dose of corticosteroid, the number of days on which the dose exceeded 100 mg, and the number of rejection episodes treated with high doses of corticosteroid. Identification of specific high-risk periods in regard to cataract formation could lead to use of preventive therapy, as yet undetermined, during these periods. Lower doses of corticosteroids should be used to treat rejection episodes.
