Body-fluid Balance and Drinking Habits in Patients With Retinal Vascular Occlusion

September 5, 2013 updated by: Dr. med. Evelyn Voigt, Technische Universität Dresden

Examination of the Body-fluid Balance in Patients With Retinal Vascular Occlusion Before and During Hemodilution and the Influence of Drinking Habits on the Degree of Body Hydration

The purpose of this study is to examine the body-fluid balance in patients with retinal vascular occlusion and the influence of drinking habits and hemodilution on the degree of body hydration.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Conditions

Detailed Description

Patients with retinal vascular occlusion who are hospitalized for hemodilution and cardiovascular risk assessment are asked to report their drinking habits. Hydration status before and during hemodilution is assessed with a body-fluid analyzing scale.

Patients with retinal vascular occlusion undergo a hematocrit dependent 5 day hemodilution

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
changes in body-fluid balance
Time Frame: 1 week
The influence of hemodilution on body-fluid balance in patients with retinal vascular occlusion is examined

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
