In CKD corneal endothelial changes also occur probably due to accumulation of inflammatory cytokines and increased multiple toxic products. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of CKD on corneal endothelium and correlate the findings with severity of disease with help of noninvasive technique.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study comprised 75 eyes of 75 cases divided into three groups with group A comprising of CKD cases on dialysis, group B of nondialysis CKD cases, and group C of controls. Each group had 25 cases each of either sex and between 15\u201380 age groups. All patients were investigated for blood urea, serum creatinine, and blood sugar and underwent complete ophthalmic examination of both eyes along with wide-field specular microscopy examination.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The majority of patients (33.3%) belonged to age range of 61\u201370 years with male predominance and the most common cause of CKD was found to be diabetes with 17 (34%) cases. We found normal corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) with the mean ECD of 2364.52 \u00b1 397.72 mm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      in the dialysis group, 2467.8 \u00b1 352.88 mm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      in nondialysis group, and 2521.68 \u00b1 250.26 mm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      in the control group of patients. However, we found significant increase in coefficient of variation (CV) with 36 \u00b1 5.8% in dialysis group, 37 \u00b1 4.5% in nondialysis group and 32 \u00b1 0.8% in controls (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.001) and decreased hexagonality (Hx) with 47 \u00b1 7.3% in dialysis group, 46 \u00b1 4.7% in nondialysis group and 51 \u00b1 6.7% in the controls (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.031). This showed increased tendency of pleomorphism and polymegathism in corneal endothelial cells in CKD cases.
