title: [Corneal and conjunctival deposits in the eyes of patients treated with periodic haemodialysis. Study of 47 patients (author's transl)].
abstract: The study of 47 patients with terminal renal failure treated in the centre for haemodialysis of Geneva shows that 66% present corneo-conjunctival deposits. These deposits do not produce symptoms nor diminution of the vision. Their pathogenesis, linked to the important variations of calcaemia and phospho-calcic product, is not a function of duration of haemodialysis. Similarity seems evident between these deposits, other soft-tissue calcifications and experimentally induced topical calciphylaxis.
