“…The choroidal thickness was associated with renal hemodynamics, which was assessed via Doppler sonography 15 . The subfoveal choroidal thickness was significantly correlated with renal function, which was measured using the eGFR 16 – 18 . In a study on choroidal thickness and CVI changes following hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease, the choroidal thickness was significantly decreased after hemodialysis, while the CVI value did not change much.…”

We investigated the changes in subfoveal choroidal thickness and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) and their relationship with the severity of coronary artery stenosis in patients with cardiovascular risk factors and symptoms suggestive of coronary artery disease (CAD). Ninety patients who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) for evaluation of their coronary artery status and cardiac symptoms were included. Forty-two patients showed no evidence of CAD; 31 patients had one to two vessel disease; and 17 had a triple vessel disease. There were no significant differences in the subfoveal choroidal thickness among the three groups; however, the CVI in the triple vessel disease group was lower than those in the other groups. The CVI values were good predictors of the presence of triple-vessel disease (p = 0.020). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results revealed that male sex (odds ratio 5.4, p = 0.049), hypertension (odds ratio 4.9, p = 0.017), and CVI (%, odds ratio 0.8, p = 0.016) were significant factors associated with the presence of triple vessel disease. Although CVI may not be a sensitive marker for detecting early changes in the coronary artery, it may be helpful in indicating severe CAD.

The vascular system is affected by systemic conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. The choroid is an important vascular tissue surrounding the sensory retina. However, the relationship between the choroid and systemic factors in patients with diabetes has rarely been investigated. Here, we assessed the correlation of renal profiles with choroidal vasculature in eyes with diabetic retinopathy (DR) using a retrospective study design. The study included 131 patients with diabetes who underwent swept-source optical coherence tomography and routine medical work-up within a 4-week period between 1 February 2016 and 30 October 2018. Consecutive patients with treatment-naïve DR who did not receive any subsequent treatment were included. The distribution of patients according to the DR stage was as follows: no DR, 32 patients; mild-to-moderate non-proliferative DR (NPDR), 33 patients; severe NPDR, 34 patients; and treatment-naïve proliferative DR, 32 patients. Multivariate regression analyses showed that the choroidal vascularity index (CVI) of naïve eyes with DR was negatively correlated with age (p = 0.013) and the serum levels of phosphorus (p = 0.002) and positively correlated with subfoveal choroidal thickness (p < 0.001). Taken together, our findings suggest that a lower CVI is associated with phosphorus retention in patients with chronic kidney disease.
