[Ocular complications inspirational and haemodialysis]

In this work, we consider the results of a study carried out in our unit about 65 dialysed chronic renal failure patients. The work is based on the study of medical records and the results of ophtalmoscopic examination and phosphocalcic balance evaluation. Ocular manifestations and their relation with initial nephropathy, dialysis and phosphocalcic disturbances are described The following alterations were observed: corneo conjunctival deposits [60%], cataract [26%], hypertensive retinopathy in 21[68%] cases among 31 [48%] who suffered from hypertension hypertensive choroidopathy in one case, vascular thrombosis in one case, diabetic retinopathy in all patients ['7] with diabetes

grossesse gemellaire et la transplantation renale. A propos d'une premiere observation Tunisienne

Women with end-stage renal disease or on regular dialysis have low fertility. Renal transplantation restores not only normal renal and endocrine functions but also the reproductive function as well and so conception becomes possible. Pregnancy in transplanted women is at higher risk and necessitates a multidisciplinary follow up. We report the course and out come of two successful pregnancies, the second was the first case of twin pregnancy in Tunisia in a transplanted woman. Our patient is 35 years old had a chronic renal insufficiency, secondary to interstitial nephropathy. After six years of hemodialysis, she had received a renal graft from a living donor [her brother]. A double drug immunosuppression was given [Prednisolone - Azathioprine]. Two years later, she became pregnant and delivered a normal baby at term, and one year later she had a twin pregnancy that ended successfully and delivered by caesarian section two babies with different sex. Pregnancy after renal transplantion must be considered as a risk factor for any subsequent pregnancy, and the risk increases in case of twin pregnancy
